Molecular evolution of the avian growth hormone gene and comparison with its mammalian counterpart.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2006

Buggiotti L, Primmer C R

Abstract excerpt

The molecular evolution of all available avian growth hormone (GH) gene sequences was investigated using both maximum-likelihood and parsimony methods, and the patterns compared to those found in mammals. In contrast to the rapid bursts of evolution observed for mammalian GH, the evolutionary rate of the avian GH mature peptide appears to have been more constant. However several positively selected sites were...
