Evolution of amino-acid sequences and codon usage on the Drosophila miranda neo-sex chromosomes.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2006

Bartolomé Carolina, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

We have studied patterns of DNA sequence variation and evolution for 22 genes located on the neo-X and neo-Y chromosomes of Drosophila miranda. As found previously, nucleotide site diversity is greatly reduced on the neo-Y chromosome, with a severely distorted frequency spectrum. There is also an accelerated rate of amino-acid sequence evolution on the neo-Y chromosome. Comparisons of nonsynonymous and silent...
