Biosynthetic constraints on amino acid synthesis at the base of the food chain may determine their use in higher-order consumer genomes.
Dietary nutrient composition is essential for shaping important fitness traits and behaviours. Many organisms are protein limited, and for Drosophila melanogaster this limitation manifests at the level of the single most limiting essential Amino Acid (AA) in the diet. The identity of this AA and its...
