Variation in Positive Selection in Termite GNBPs and Relish
Variation in Positive Selection in Termite GNBPs and Relish is a scholarly work, published in 2005 in ''Molecular Biology and Evolution''. The main subjects of the publication include Synonymous substitution, Nonsynonymous substitution, balancing selection, natural selection, molecular evolution, Directional selection, gene, Wolbachia, ecology, selection (genetic algorithm), purifying selection, genetics, phylogenetics, lineage, evolutionary biology, innate immune response, immune system, evolutionary ecology, and biology. The authors used different models of nucleotide substitution at nonsynonymous (amino acid altering) and synonymous (silent) sites to compare the different levels and type of selection among three immunity genes in 13 Australian termite species (Nasutitermes).
