Abstract:
Is protein evolution just about protein function? In this talk I'll show that the processes involved in protein manufacture, rather than end-function, have a major role in determining rates of evolution and choice of both codons and amino acids. I'll examine in detail two issues, splicing and nucleosome occupancy
