Selective pressure on the protein-coding genes of the pufferfish is correlated with phenotypic traits.

Marine genomics - 1 Feb 2018

Abstract excerpt

The pufferfish accumulates neurotoxic tetrodotoxin in its body and inflates by filling its stomach with water. These traits are unique to this species, and may be a result of adaptation post-divergence of Tetraodontidae. However, evolution of the protein-coding genes in the pufferfish has not yet been well elucidated. Detection of positive selection on these genes can help us understand the mechanisms associated...
