Rates of DNA change and phylogeny from the DNA sequences of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene for five closely related species of Hawaiian Drosophila.
Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 1991
Rowan R G, Hunt J A
Abstract excerpt
The sequence of 1.6 kb of DNA surrounding the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) gene from five species of the Planitibia subgroup of the Hawaiian picture-winged Drosophila, with estimated divergence times of 0.4-5.1 Myr, has been determined. The gene trees which were found by using the sequence divergence from different regions of the sequences are generally in accord with the phylogeny proposed for these species when...
