The Interaction of Natural Selection and GC Skew May Drive the Fast Evolution of a Sand Rat Homeobox Gene

Several processes can lead to strong GC skew in localized genomic regions. In most cases, GC skew should not affect conserved amino acids because natural selection will purge deleterious alleles. However, in the gerbil subfamily of rodents, several conserved genes have undergone radical alteration i...
