Adaptive Evolution of Genes Involved in the Regulation of Germline Stem Cells in Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans

Population genetic and comparative analyses in diverse taxa have shown that numerous genes involved in reproduction are adaptively evolving. Two genes involved in germline stem cell regulation, bag of marbles (bam) and benign gonial cell neoplasm (bgcn), have been shown previously to experience recu...
