A mutation in Drosophila simulans that lengthens the circadian period of locomotor activity.

Genetica - 1 Mar 2004

Rogers A S, Escher Stefan A, Pasetto C, Rosato E, Costa R, Kyriacou C P

Abstract excerpt

The length of the Thr-Gly repeat within the period gene of Drosophilids, coevolves with its immediate flanking region to maintain the temperature compensation of the fly circadian clock. In Drosophila simulans, balancing selection appears to maintain a polymorphism in this region, with three repeat lengths carrying 23, 24 or 25 Thr-Gly pairs, each in complete linkage disequilibrium with a distinctive flanking...
