Rates of synonymous substitution and base composition of nuclear genes in Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1992

Moriyama E N, Gojobori T

Abstract excerpt

We compared the rates of synonymous (silent) substitution among various genes in a number of species of Drosophila. First, we found that even for a particular gene, the rate of synonymous substitution varied considerably with Drosophila lineages. Second, we showed a large variation in synonymous substitution rates among nuclear genes in Drosophila. These rates of synonymous substitution were correlated negatively...
