Functional constraint and divergence in the G protein family in Caenorhabditis elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae.

Abstract excerpt

Part of the challenge of the post-genomic world is to identify functional elements within the wide array of information generated by genome sequencing. Although cross-species comparisons and investigation of rates of sequence divergence are an efficient approach, the relationship between sequence divergence and functional conservation is not clear. Here, we use a comparative approach to examine questions of...
