Microevolutionary divergence pattern of the segmentation gene hunchback in Drosophila.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Nov 1998

Tautz D, Nigro L

Abstract excerpt

To study the microevolutionary processes shaping the evolution of the segmentation gene hunchback (hb) from Drosophila melanogaster, we cloned and sequenced the gene from 12 isofemale lines representing wild-type populations of D. melanogaster, as well as from the closely related species Drosophila sechellia, Drosophila orena, and Drosophila yakuba. We find a relatively low degree of sequence variation in D....
