Codon bias in actin multigene families and effects on the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships.
Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Aug 1995
He M, Haymer D S
Abstract excerpt
Codon usage patterns and phylogenetic relationships in the actin multigene family have been analyzed for three dipteran species--Drosophila melanogaster, Bactrocera dorsalis, and Ceratitis capitata. In certain phylogenetic tree reconstructions, using synonymous distances, some gene relationships...
