Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila melanogaster, the Acp70A gene, which is involved in the postmating reactions of the female, is a single-copy gene. However, in Drosophila subobscura, the gene is duplicated and both copies are transcribed. To study the molecular evolution of the duplication, a 2.1-kb fragment encompassing both copies of the duplication was sequenced for 10 lines of D. subobscura and one line of Drosophila...
