Factors that affect the rates of adaptive and non-adaptive evolution at the gene level in humans and chimpanzees

2021-05-05

Abstract excerpt

The rate of amino acid substitution has been shown to be correlated to a number of factors including the rate of recombination, the age of the gene, the length of the protein, mean expression level and gene function. However, the extent to which these correlations are due to adaptive and non-adaptive evolution has not been studied in detail, at least not in hominids. We find that the rate of adaptive evolution is...
