The expansion of amino-acid repeats is not associated to adaptive evolution in mammalian genes
BACKGROUND: The expansion of amino acid repeats is determined by a high mutation rate and can be increased or limited by selection. It has been suggested that recent expansions could be associated with the potential of adaptation to new environments. In this work, we quantify the strength of this as...
