Molecular polymorphism in Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans: what have we learned from recent studies?

Genetica - 1 Mar 2004

Mousset Sylvain, Derome Nicolas

Abstract excerpt

We present a review of recent studies of molecular polymorphism in Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans. The availability of African and non-African samples for these species makes it possible to compare microsatellite and DNA sequence polymorphism between these species, both inside and outside their native regions. There are four main results: (i) variability is larger in African populations; (ii) variation...
