Association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms at the Delta locus with genotype by environment interaction for sensory bristle number in drosophila Melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

The nature of forces maintaining variation for quantitative traits can only be assessed at the level of individual genes affecting variation in the traits. Identification of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with variation in Drosophila sensory bristle number at the Delta (Dl) locus provides us with the opportunity to test a model for the maintenance of variation in bristle number by genotype by...
