Synonymous substitution rates in Drosophila: mitochondrial versus nuclear genes.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Oct 1997

Moriyama E N, Powell J R

Abstract excerpt

Synonymous substitution rates in mitochondrial and nuclear genes of Drosophila were compared. To make accurate comparisons, we considered the following: (1) relative synonymous rates, which do not require divergence time estimates, should be used; (2) methods estimating divergence should take into account base composition; (3) only very closely related species should be used to avoid effects of saturation; (4)...
