Nucleotide polymorphism in the RpII215 gene region of the insular species Drosophila guanche: reduced efficacy of weak selection on synonymous variation.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Nov 2003

Pérez José A, Munté Agustí, Rozas Julio, Segarra Carmen, Aguadé Montserrat

Abstract excerpt

An approximately 6.9-kb region encompassing the RpII215 gene was sequenced for 24 individuals of the island endemic species Drosophila guanche. The comparative analysis of synonymous polymorphism and divergence in D. guanche and D. subobscura, two species with pronounced differences in population size, allows contrasting the nearly neutral character of synonymous mutations. In D. guanche, unlike in D. subobscura,...
