This could lead to 'faster-X evolution', if a large proportion of mutations are fixed by positive selection, as suggested by recent studies in Drosophila. We used a multispecies approach to test this: Muller's element D, an autosomal arm, is fused to the ancestral X chromosome in Drosophila pseudoobscura and its sister species, Drosophila affinis. We tested whether the same set of genes had higher rates of non-synonymous evolution when they were X-linked (in the D. pseudoobscura/D. affinis comparison) than when they were autosomal (in Drosophila melanogaster/Drosophila yakuba). Although not significant, our results suggest this may be the case, but only for genes under particularly strong positive selection/weak purifying selection. They also suggest that genes that have become X-linked have higher levels of codon bias and slower synonymous site evolution, consistent with more effective selection on codon usage at X-linked sites.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"5","publication_status":"published","publication":"Genetical Research","title":"A multispecies approach for comparing sequence evolution of X-linked and autosomal sites in Drosophila","quality_controlled":0,"doi":"10.1017/S0016672308009804","author":[{"last_name":"Vicoso","id":"49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Beatriz Vicoso","first_name":"Beatriz","orcid":"0000-0002-4579-8306"},{"full_name":"Haddrill, Penelope R","first_name":"Penelope","last_name":"Haddrill"},{"first_name":"Brian","full_name":"Charlesworth, Brian","last_name":"Charlesworth"}],"_id":"2065"}
