Abstract excerpt
Conservatism versus innovation is probably the most important dichotomy of all evolving systems. In molecular evolution the distinction between conservative (negative) selection, innovative (positive) selection and unconstrained evolution (drift) is usually ambiguous at the gene level. Only rare cases with the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous nucleotide substitutions above unity (dN/dS>1) are thought to be...
