Recent and Long-Term Selection Across Synonymous Sites in Drosophila ananassae.

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila, many studies have examined the short- or long-term evolution occurring across synonymous sites. Few, however, have examined both the recent and long-term evolution to gain a complete view of this selection. Here we have analyzed Drosophila ananassae DNA polymorphism and divergence data using several different methods, and have identified evidence of positive selection favoring preferred codons in...
