High impact information on ocn

Molecular evolution of the ocnus and janus genes in the Drosophila melanogaster species subgroup [1].
Here we describe a new Drosophila melanogaster gene, ocnus (ocn), that encodes a protein abundant in testes nuclear extracts [1].
The janusA, janusB, and ocnus genes share two short introns derived from a common ancestor [2].
Patterns of DNA sequence variation suggest the recent action of positive selection in the janus-ocnus region of Drosophila simulans [3].
