Adaptive protein evolution in Drosophila
Adaptive protein evolution in Drosophila is a scholarly work by Adam Eyre-Walker, published in 2002 in ''Nature''. The main subjects of the publication include RNA sequencing, selection (genetic algorithm), genetics, biological sequence, evolutionary biology, protein evolution, adaptation, Drosophila, molecular evolution, Drosophila, population genetics, biology, ribosome, and natural selection. The authors estimate that 45% of all amino-acid substitutions have been fixed by natural selection, and that on average one adaptive substitution occurs every 45 years in these species.
