Molecular evolution of neuropeptides in the genus Drosophila.

Genome biology - 1 Jan 2008

Wegener Christian, Gorbashov Anton

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Neuropeptides comprise the most diverse group of neuronal signaling molecules. They often occur as multiple sequence-related copies within single precursors (the prepropeptides). These multiple sequence-related copies have not arisen by gene duplication, and it is debated whether they are mutually redundant or serve specific functions. The fully sequenced genomes of 12 Drosophila species provide a...
