Adaptive Protein Evolution in Animals and the Effective Population Size Hypothesis.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2016

Galtier Nicolas

Abstract excerpt

The rate at which genomes adapt to environmental changes and the prevalence of adaptive processes in molecular evolution are two controversial issues in current evolutionary genetics. Previous attempts to quantify the genome-wide rate of adaptation through amino-acid substitution have revealed a surprising diversity of patterns, with some species (e.g. Drosophila) experiencing a very high adaptive rate, while...
