X chromosomes and autosomes evolve at similar rates in Drosophila: No evidence for faster-X protein evolution

Recent data from Drosophila suggest that a substantial fraction of amino acid substitutions observed between species are beneficial. If these beneficial mutations are on average partially recessive, then the rate of protein evolution is predicted to be faster for X-linked genes compared to autosomal...
