The molecular evolution of the alcohol dehydrogenase locus and the phylogeny of Hawaiian Drosophila.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 1991

Thomas R H, Hunt J A

Abstract excerpt

DNA sequences in the alcohol dehydrogenase genes of flies representing the major groups of Hawaiian Drosophila are used to clarify the relationships of these groups, among themselves and with mainland Drosophila. The topology of the tree derived from these sequences agrees with karyotypic and mor...
