The role of gene conversion in determining sequence variation and divergence in the Est-5 gene family in Drosophila pseudoobscura.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1998

King L M

Abstract excerpt

Nucleotide sequences of eight Est-5A and Est-5C genes corresponding to previously sequenced Est-5B genes in Drosophila pseudoobscura were determined to compare patterns of polymorphism and divergence among members of this small gene family. The three esterase genes were also sequenced from D. persimilis and D. miranda for interspecific comparisons. The data provide evidence that gene conversion between loci...
