N-Glycosylation – one pathway, two distinct selective constraints

Our group just published a new paper in BMC Systems Biology. The title is Distribution of events of positive selection and population differentiation in a metabolic pathway: the case of asparagine N-glycosylation. It is already on the journal’s web page. The pathway of N-Glycosylation can be ideally splitted into two separate parts, one upstream and one
