[Nonuniformity in the evolutionary rate in the virilis: II. group of Drosophilas: application of the method of Tajima's test].
The steadiness of the molecular clock was estimated in 11 Drosophila species of the virilis group by sequences of five genes by applying Tajima's Simple Method. The main characteristic of this method is the independence of its phylogenetic constructions. The obtained results have completely confirmed the conclusions drawn relying on the application of the two-cluster test and the Takezaki branch-length test. In addition, the deviation of the molecular clock has found confirmation in D. virilis evolutionary lineages.
