Origin and evolution of a new gene descended from alcohol dehydrogenase in Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1997

Begun D J

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) is highly conserved in size, organization, and amino acid sequence. Adh-psi was hypothesized to be a pseudogene derived from an Adh duplication in the repleta group of Drosophila; however, several results from molecular analyses of this gene conflict with currently held notions of molecular evolution. Perhaps the most difficult observations to reconcile with the pseudogene...
