Distribution of events of positive selection and population differentiation in a metabolic pathway: the case of asparagine N-glycosylation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Asparagine N-Glycosylation is one of the most important forms of protein post-translational modification in eukaryotes. This metabolic pathway can be subdivided into two parts: an upstream sub-pathway required for achieving proper fo...
