BMC Biol 5 (2007) 51. Using a candidate gene approach, csf1r is found to be expressed in developing and regenerating egg-spots on the anal fin of males. Molecular evolutionary analysis also shows a high Ka/Ks ratio for this gene and both the accelerated rate of evolution and the number and place of amino acid substitutions occur at an evolutionary time and a position in the protein that would suggest that this gene underwent positive selection and a change of function when the egg-spots evolved in the haplochromine cichlids.

Gen Biol 9 (2008) R113. Using partial (5× coverage) genomic sequences of five species of Lake Malawi cichlids the authors show that they differ by only about 0.25% and identify genomic regions that might contain differences that show signs of selection and contain genes that might have contributed to species differences and species.
