A genetic screen for dominant modifiers of a small-wing phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster identifies proteins involved in splicing and translation.

abstract：:Codon usage bias in Drosophila melanogaster genes has been attributed to negative selection of those codons whose cellular tRNA abundance restricts rates of mRNA translation. Previous studies, which involved limited numbers of genes, can now be compared against analyses of the entire gene complements of 12 Drosophila ...
