The results showed that more important function leads to greater conservation. There is great decrease in conservation when considering other genera than species in the same genus. General trends show that Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila elegans are highly related in comparison to other species, but there will be some loss in conservation based on function.
In rank of importance, Syt7 may have the greatest importance followed by NfI, Rad23, CG11148, and fd102c respectively. This was determined by conservation from the same genus. When considering other genera instead, Syt7, Rad23, NfI, CG11148, and fd102c are the order of importance based on function. This difference in order was unexpected, and it does skew the results slightly.
Research in function denotes that brain function is the most important and thus is the most conserved gene. After, Gene expression and DNA repair are considered most important, followed by cell destruction and DNA binding. There are still several other genes with different levels of conservation, but currently this was the information found.
Overall, Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila elegans have strong evidence of having a much closer relationship than with other genera. There is also a high association with gene conservation and function for different genes. From this information, there is strong evidence that the relationship between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila elegans is very strong.
