Birth and death of genes and functions in the beta-esterase cluster of Drosophila.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jul 2009

Robin Charles, Bardsley Lisa M J, Coppin Chris, Oakeshott John G

Abstract excerpt

Here we analyze the molecular evolution of the beta-esterase gene cluster in the Drosophila genus using the recently released genome sequences of 12 Drosophila species. Molecular evolution in this small cluster is noteworthy because it contains contrasting examples of the types and stages of loss of gene function. Specifically, missing orthologs, pseudogenes, and null alleles are all inferred. Phylogenetic...
