Rapid evolution of the sex-determining gene, transformer: structural diversity and rate heterogeneity among sibling species of Drosophila.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2003

Kulathinal Rob J, Skwarek Lara, Morton Richard A, Singh Rama S

Abstract excerpt

While developmentally regulated genes are generally conserved, transformer (tra), a key locus involved in the regulation of sexual differentiation, is highly diverged between species of Drosophila. With an aim to understand its divergence between sibling species, we investigated tra sequence variation among members of the Drosophila melanogaster species complex, D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. mauritiana, and D....
