Reverse evolution in RH1 for adaptation of cichlids to water depth in Lake Tanganyika.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

Reverse evolution is a widespread phenomenon in biology, but the genetic mechanism for the reversal of a genetic change for adaptation to the ancestral state is not known. Here, we report the first case of complete reverse evolution of two amino acids, serine and alanine, at a single position in...
