Molecular evolution of a pervasive natural amino-acid substitution in Drosophila cryptochrome.

Molecular evolution of a pervasive natural amino-acid substitution in Drosophila cryptochrome.

Genetic variations in circadian clock genes may serve as molecular adaptations, allowing populations to adapt to local environments. Here, we carried out a survey of genetic variation in Drosophila cryptochrome (cry), the fly's dedicated circadian photoreceptor. An initial screen of 10 European...
