Widespread polymorphism in the positions of stop codons in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genome biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2012

Lee Yuh Chwen G, Reinhardt Josephine A

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms underlying evolutionary changes in protein length are poorly understood. Protein domains are lost and gained between species and must have arisen first as within-species polymorphisms. Here, we use Drosophila melanogaster population genomic data combined with between species divergence information to understand the evolutionary forces that generate and maintain polymorphisms causing changes in...
