Mitochondrial genome size variation in New World and Old World populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Heredity - 1 Jul 2004

Townsend J P, Rand D M

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila melanogaster originated in Africa, spread to Europe and Asia, and is believed to have colonized the New World in the past few hundred years. Levels of genetic variation are typically reduced in New World populations, consistent with a founder event following range expansion out of Africa and the Old World. We describe the patterns of mtDNA length variation within and among several populations of...
