Gene pairs that are coexpressed across various environmental conditions in multiple species suggest functional similarity. Here the authors analyze patterns of gene expression co-evolution across diverse eukaryotes, and identify hundreds of protein complexes and pathways whose gene expression levels have co-evolved since their ancient divergence.
