Estimating the influence of selection on the variable amino acid sites of the cytochrome B protein functional domains.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2001

Abstract excerpt

We evaluated the effects of selection on the molecular evolution of the functional domains of the mammalian cytochrome b gene as it relates to physicochemical properties shown to correlate with rates of amino acid replacement. Two groups of mammals were considered: pocket gophers of the rodent family Geomyidae, and cetaceans and ungulates of the monophyletic taxon Cetartopdactyla. Several characteristics of...
