Non-neutral processes drive the nucleotide composition of non-coding sequences in Drosophila.

Biology letters - 23 Aug 2008

Haddrill Penelope R, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

The nature of the forces affecting base composition is a key question in genome evolution. There is uncertainty as to whether differences in the GC contents of non-coding sequences reflect differences in mutational bias, or in the intensity of selection or biased gene conversion. We have used a polymorphism dataset for non-coding sequences on the X chromosome of Drosophila simulans to examine this question. The...
