Functional divergence of the <i>bag of marbles</i> gene in the <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> species group

2021-06-25

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster , a key germline stem cell (GSC) differentiation factor, bag of marbles ( bam ) shows rapid bursts of amino acid fixations between sibling species D. melanogaster and D. simulans , but not in the outgroup species D. ananassae . Here, we test the null hypothesis that bam’ s differentiation function is conserved between D. melanogaster and four additional Drosophila species in the...
