Selective Constraint Dominates the Evolution of Genes Expressed in a Novel Reproductive Gland

5 Sept 2014

Abstract excerpt

One striking pattern in molecular evolution is that genes encoding proteins involved in reproduction tend to evolve rapidly. Seminal fluid proteins frequently exhibit this pattern and directly affect multiple reproductive processes including enhancing sperm performance and mediating postmating sexual selection. Here, we investigate molecular evolutionary patterns of genes expressed in the foam gland of Japanese...
