Llopart A, Aguadé M
Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide variation in an 8.1-kb fragment encompassing the RpII215 gene, which encodes the largest subunit of the RNA polymerase II complex, is analyzed in a sample of 11 chromosomes from a natural population of Drosophila subobscura. No amino acid polymorphism was detected among the 157 segregating sites. The observed numbers of preferred and unpreferred derived synonymous mutations can be explained by neutral...
