Abstract excerpt
To infer the genealogical relationships of alpha-amylase electromorphs of Drosophila melanogaster, we determined the nucleotide sequences of a collection of electromorphs sampled throughout the world. On average there were 1.0 amino acid substitutions between identical electromorphs and 3.9 between different electromorphs, respectively. We found that the evolution of AMY1 through AMY6 electromorphs occurred by...
