Genetic polymorphism at two linked loci, Sod and Est-6, in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

We have examined the patterns of polymorphism at two linked loci, Sod and Est-6, separated by nearly 1000 kb on the left arm of chromosome 3 of Drosophila melanogaster. The evidence suggests that natural selection has been involved in shaping the polymorphisms. At the Sod locus, a fairly strong (s>0.01) selective sweep, started >or=2600 years ago, increased the frequency of a rare haplotype, F(A), to about 50%...
