Strong regional heterogeneity in base composition evolution on the Drosophila X chromosome.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2006

Ko Wen-Ya, Piao Shengfu, Akashi Hiroshi

Abstract excerpt

Fluctuations in base composition appear to be prevalent in Drosophila and mammal genome evolution, but their timescale, genomic breadth, and causes remain obscure. Here, we study base composition evolution within the X chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster and five of its close relatives. Substitutions were inferred on six extant and two ancestral lineages for 14 near-telomeric and 9 nontelomeric genes. GC...
