Contrasting patterns of nonneutral evolution in proteins encoded in nuclear and mitochondrial genomes.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2000

Weinreich D M, Rand D M

Abstract excerpt

We report that patterns of nonneutral DNA sequence evolution among published nuclear and mitochondrially encoded protein-coding loci differ significantly in animals. Whereas an apparent excess of amino acid polymorphism is seen in most (25/31) mitochondrial genes, this pattern is seen in fewer than half (15/36) of the nuclear data sets. This differentiation is even greater among data sets with significant...
