As calculations are based on DNA sequence data and not physical measurements, it can tease apart the genetically determined component of gene expression from the effects of the trait itself (avoiding reverse causality) and other factors such as environment.

They focused their search on expression levels of two sets of genes, those that remained largely unchanged across all four species, suggesting that there was little room — or need — for improvement, and those that changed most dramatically, usually in the human lineage — an indication of powerful incentives to adapt to a changing environment.

In the search for a defining feature of the Escherichia coli that cause urinary tract infections, comparative transcriptomics and infection models show that infection depends on both the host environment and gene expression levels in the bacteria.
