Evolution of duplicated alpha-tubulin genes in ciliates.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2002

Israel Rachel L, Kosakovsky Pond Sergei L, Muse Spencer V, Katz Laura A

Abstract excerpt

Ciliates provide a powerful system to analyze the evolution of duplicated alpha-tubulin genes in the context of single-celled organisms. Genealogical analyses of ciliate alpha-tubulin sequences reveal five apparently recent gene duplications. Comparisons of paralogs in different ciliates implicate differing patterns of substitutions (e.g., ratios of replacement/synonymous nucleotides and radical/conservative...
