Genomic gigantism: DNA loss is slow in mountain grasshoppers.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2001

Bensasson D, Petrov D A, Zhang D X, Hartl D L, Hewitt G M

Abstract excerpt

Several studies have shown DNA loss to be inversely correlated with genome size in animals. These studies include a comparison between Drosophila and the cricket, Laupala, but there has been no assessment of DNA loss in insects with very large genomes. Podisma pedestris, the brown mountain grasshopper, has a genome over 100 times as large as that of Drosophila and 10 times as large as that of Laupala. We used 58...
