Proteins Evolve Differentially in Saccharomyces

Posted on March 30th, 2007 by sharpton · 2 Comments

Blogging about Peer-Reviewed ResearchPerhaps not a surprise to anyone that has dabbled in evolutionary analysis of proteins, Kawahara and Imanishi (BMC Evolutionary Biology 2007) confirm that not every protein evolves via a molecular clock in Saccharomyces sensu scricto. Using everyone's favorite evolutionary tool, PAML, the authors identify protein lineages via a whole genome scan that evolve relatively slow or
