Natural selection drives Drosophila immune system evolution.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2003

Schlenke Todd A, Begun David J

Abstract excerpt

Evidence from disparate sources suggests that natural selection may often play a role in the evolution of host immune system proteins. However, there have been few attempts to make general population genetic inferences on the basis of analysis of several immune-system-related genes from a single...
