Minor shift in background substitutional patterns in the <it>Drosophila saltans </it>and <it>willistoni </it>lineages is insufficient to explain GC content of coding sequences

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Several lines of evidence suggest that codon usage in the <it>Drosophila saltans </it>and <it>D. willistoni </it>lineages has shifted towards a less frequent use of GC-ending codons. Introns in these lineages...
