Abstract excerpt
The hitchhiking model of population genetics predicts that an allele favored by Darwinian selection can replace haplotypes from the same locus previously established at a neutral mutation-drift equilibrium. This process, known as "selective sweep," was studied by comparing molecular variation between the polymorphic In(2L)t inversion and the standard chromosome. Sequence variation was recorded at the Suppressor...
