Evolution of Antifreeze Protein Genes in the Diatom Genus Evidence for Horizontal Gene Transfer, Gene Duplication and Episodic Diversifying Selection
Hypotheses about horizontal transfer of antifreeze protein genes to ice-living diatoms were addressed using two different statistical methods available in the program Prunier. The role of diversifying selection in driving the differentiation of a set of antifreeze protein genes in the diatom genus F...
