Duplication, concerted evolution and purifying selection drive the evolution of mosquito vitellogenin genes

BACKGROUND: Mosquito vitellogenin (Vtg) genes belong to a small multiple gene family that encodes the major yolk protein precursors required for egg production. Multiple Vtg genes have been cloned and characterized from several mosquito species, but their origin and molecular evolution are poorly un...
