Molecular drift of the bride of sevenless (boss) gene in Drosophila.
Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 1993
Ayala F J, Hartl D L
Abstract excerpt
DNA sequences were determined for three to five alleles of the bride-of-sevenless (boss) gene in each of four species of Drosophila. The product of boss is a transmembrane receptor for a ligand coded by the sevenless gene that triggers differentiation of the R7 photoreceptor cell in the compound eye. Population parameters affecting the rate and pattern of molecular evolution of boss were estimated from the...
