Signatures of selection among sex-determining alleles of the honey bee.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Apr 2004

Hasselmann Martin, Beye Martin

Abstract excerpt

Patterns of DNA polymorphisms are a primary tool for dissecting signatures of selection; however, the underlying selective forces are poorly understood for most genes. A classical example of diversifying selection is the complementary sex-determining locus that is found in the very large insect order Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants, and sawflies). The gene responsible for sex determination, the complementary sex...
