Abstract excerpt
DNA-sequence divergence of genes expressed in the embryonic stage was compared with the divergence of genes expressed in adults for 13 species of Drosophila representing various degrees of relatedness. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments were conducted using as tracers complementary DNA (cDNA) reve...
