Determinants of synonymous and nonsynonymous variability in three species of Drosophila.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 2011

Haddrill Penelope R, Zeng Kai, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

We estimated the intensity of selection on preferred codons in Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. miranda at X-linked and autosomal loci, using a published data set on sequence variability at 67 loci, by means of an improved method that takes account of demographic effects. We found evidence for stronger selection at X-linked loci, consistent with their higher levels of codon usage bias. The estimates of the...
