If this interpretation is correct, our results confirm those of Schmid and co-workers [ 34, 59] who have shown that a large fraction of randomly sampled coding sequences and orphan genes are rapidly evolving in the genus Drosophila . Our results are also consistent with those of Ashburner et al . [ 60] who show that genes with known mutant phenotypes in D. melanogaster are more likely to have a conserved homolog in GenBank relative to predicted genes with no known phenotype.
Sequences from several species of the genus Phytophthora were correctly distinguished from plant and bacterial sequences, and three genes from Agrobacterium tumefaciens were correctly identified as representing a bacterial sequence.
We discuss the implications of our results for comparative approaches to protein-coding and cis -regulatory sequence prediction in the genus Drosophila .
In general, our data indicate that the microsyntenic order of coding and non-coding sequences is highly conserved in the genus Drosophila at the scale of individual fosmids (approximately 40 kb).
Use of this information is therefore generally limited to mapping relationships on the genus and species levels.
