Function and evolution of a gene family encoding odorant binding-like proteins in a social insect, the honey bee (Apis mellifera).

abstract：:Metagenomic projects generate short, overlapping fragments of DNA sequence, each deriving from a different individual. We report a new method for inferring the scaled mutation rate, theta = 2Neu, and the scaled exponential growth rate, R = Ner, from the site-frequency spectrum of these data while accounting for sequen...
