Abstract excerpt
Amphioxus (subphylum Cephalochordata) is the closest living relative to vertebrates and widely used for phylogenetic analyses of vertebrate gene evolution. Amphioxus genes are highly polymorphic, but the origin and nature of this variability is unknown. We have analyzed the alcohol dehydrogenase locus (Adh3) in two amphioxus species (Branchiostoma lanceolatum and Branchiostoma floridae) and found that genetic...
