Abstract
Functional RNA elements can be embedded also within exonic sequences
coding for functional proteins. While not uncommon in viruses, only a few
examples of this type have been described in some detail for eukaryotic
genomes. Here we use RNAz and RNAcode, two
comparative genomics methods that measure signatures of stabilizing
selection acting on RNA secondary structure and peptide sequence, resp., to
survey the fruitfly genomes. We estimate that there might be on the order
of 1000 loci that are subject to dual selection pressure. The used
genome-wide screens also expose the limitations of the currently
available methods.
