Diversifying selection of the tumor-growth promoter angiogenin in primate evolution.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2002

Zhang Jianzhi, Rosenberg Helene F

Abstract excerpt

Diversifying selection drives the rapid differentiation of gene sequences and is one of the main forces behind adaptive evolution. Most genes known to be shaped by diversifying selection are those involved in host-pathogen or male-female interactions characterized as molecular "arms races." Here we report the unexpected detection of diversifying selection in the evolution of a tumor-growth promoter, angiogenin...
