COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE hsp70 GENES SYSTEM IN TWO SPECIES OF THE FAMILY STRATIOMYIDAE (DIPTERA)

Abstract
Two species investigated (Stratiomys singularior and Oxycera pardalina) belong to the family Stratiomyidae. Their larvae inhabit contrasting thermal (semi)aquatic environments. The goal was to compare the hsp70 genes clusters cloned from the genomes of these species. It has been demonstrated that in S. singularior five hsp70 copies form a highly polymorphic gene cluster which occupies ~ 29 kb. In O. pardalina we have shown the presence of four hsp70 copies and hsp68 gene in the common cluster, and two hsp70 pseudogenes. The distance between tandem orientated O. pardalina hsp70 genes is more than 9 kb. We suggest that conservative hsp70 genes may be used with some limitations to assess time of divergence of distantly related species.
