Patterns of positive selection and neutral evolution in the protein-coding genes of Tetraodon and Takifugu.

Recent genome-wide analyses have revealed patterns of positive selection acting on protein-coding genes in humans and mammals. To assess whether the conclusions drawn from these analyses are valid for other vertebrates and to identify mammalian specificities, I have investigated the selective pressu...
