Evidence for recurrent paralogous gene conversion and exceptional allelic divergence in the Attacin genes of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Oct 2001

Lazzaro B P, Clark A G

Abstract excerpt

Insects produce a limited variety of antibacterial peptides to combat a wide diversity of pathogens. These peptides are often conserved across evolutionarily distant taxa, but little is known about the level and structure of polymorphism within species. We have surveyed naturally occurring genetic variation in the promoter and coding regions of three Attacin antibacterial peptide genes from 12 lines of Drosophila...
