Molecular evolution of Drosophila cuticular protein genes.

PloS one - 17 Dec 2009

Cornman R Scott

Abstract excerpt

Several multigene families have been described that together encode scores of structural cuticular proteins in Drosophila, although the functional significance of this diversity remains to be explored. Here I investigate the evolutionary histories of several multigene families (CPR, Tweedle, CPLCG, and CPF/CPFL) that vary in age, size, and sequence complexity, using sequenced Drosophila genomes and mosquito...
