I am interested in preadaptation in Saccharomyces. I have found that Ka/Ks is a little less than one in yeast sequences believed to be untranslated, consistent with low levels of selection against aberrant translation products. These low levels of selection provide a sufficient condition for preadaptation (Masel 2006).
