Fast protein evolution and germ line expression of a Drosophila parental gene and its young retroposed paralog.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Nov 2006

Betrán Esther, Bai Yongsheng, Motiwale Mansi

Abstract excerpt

This is the first detailed study of the evolution, phylogenetic distribution, and transcription of one young retroposed gene, CG13732, and its parental gene CG15645, whose functions are unknown. CG13732 is a recognizable retroposed copy of CG15645 retaining the signals of this process. We name the parental gene Cervantes and the retrogene Quijote. To determine when this duplication occurred and the phylogenetic...
