Evidence for selection at the fused locus of Drosophila virilis.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2000

Vieira J, Charlesworth B

Abstract excerpt

The genomic DNA sequence of a 2.4-kb region of the X-linked developmental gene fused was determined in 15 Drosophila virilis strains. One common replacement polymorphism is observed, where a negatively charged aspartic amino acid is replaced by the noncharged amino acid alanine. This replacement variant is located within the serine/threonine kinase domain of the fused gene and is present in approximately 50% of...
