The nucleotide changes governing cuticular hydrocarbon variation and their evolution in Drosophila melanogaster.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 27 Mar 2001

Takahashi A, Tsaur S C, Coyne J A, Wu C I

Abstract excerpt

The cuticular hydrocarbon (CH) pheromones in Drosophila melanogaster exhibit strong geographic variation. African and Caribbean populations have a high ratio of 5,9 heptacosadiene/7,11 heptacosadiene (the "High" CH type), whereas populations from all other areas have a low ratio ("Low" CH type). Based on previous genetic mapping, DNA markers were developed that localized the genetic basis of this CH polymorphism...
