Recurrent events of positive selection in independent Drosophila lineages at the spermatogenesis gene roughex.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2008

Llopart Ana, Comeron Josep M

Abstract excerpt

Our understanding of the role of positive selection in the evolution of genes with male-biased expression can be hindered by two observations. First, male-biased genes tend to be overrepresented among lineage-specific genes. Second, novel genes are prone to experience bursts of adaptive evolution...
