Chromosomal patterns of microsatellite variability contrast sharply in African and non-African populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2002

Kauer M, Zangerl B, Dieringer D, Schlötterer C

Abstract excerpt

Levels of neutral variation are influenced by background selection and hitchhiking. The relative contribution of these evolutionary forces to the distribution of neutral variation is still the subject of ongoing debates. Using 133 microsatellites, we determined levels of variability on X chromosomes and autosomes in African and non-African D. melanogaster populations. In the ancestral African populations...
