Patterns of molecular evolution in pathogenesis-related proteins

Patterns of molecular evolution in pathogenesis-related proteins

The genes encoding 13 classes of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins were examined for positive selection using maximum-likelihood (ML) models of codon substitution. The study involved 194 sequences from 54 species belonging to 37 genera. Although the sizes of the sequences examined varied from 237 b...
