Signatures of selection and sex-specific expression variation of a novel duplicate during the evolution of the Drosophila desaturase gene family.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2011

Keays Maria C, Barker Daniel, Wicker-Thomas Claude, Ritchie Michael G

Abstract excerpt

The tempo and mode of evolution of loci with a large effect on adaptation and reproductive isolation will influence the rate of evolutionary divergence and speciation. Desaturase loci are involved in key biochemical changes in long-chain fatty acids. In insects, these have been shown to influence adaptation to starvation or desiccation resistance and in some cases act as important pheromones. The desaturase gene...
