Characterizing recurrent positive selection at fast-evolving genes in Drosophila miranda and Drosophila pseudoobscura.

Genome biology and evolution - 12 Jul 2010

Jensen Jeffrey D, Bachtrog Doris

Abstract excerpt

Characterizing the distribution of selection coefficients in natural populations remains a central challenge in evolutionary biology. We resequenced a subset of 19 fast-evolving protein-coding genes in the sister species Drosophila miranda and D. pseudoobscura and their flanking regions to characterize the spatial footprint left by recurrent and recent selection. Consistent with previous findings, fast-evolving...
