The Drosophila heat shock hsr-omega gene: an allele frequency cline detected by quantitative PCR.
Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt
The hsr-omega gene of Drosophila melanogaster produces RNA products both constitutively and at elevated levels in response to heat stress. A single-nucleotide difference in this gene that has been detected using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) is responsible for an hsr-omegaa/b polymorphism, and selection experiments have indicated an association between the hsr-omegaa allele and susceptibility to...
