Region-specific rates of molecular evolution: a fourfold reduction in the rate of accumulation of "silent" mutations in transcribed versus nontranscribed regions of homologous DNA fragments derived from two closely related mouse species.

Abstract excerpt

We have sequenced homologous DNA fragments of 2.7 and 2.8 kbp derived from the closely related mouse species Mus musculus domesticus (M. domesticus) and Mus musculus musculus (M. musculus), respectively. These two species diverged approximately 1 million years ago. Each DNA fragment contains 1.35...
