Multiple signatures of positive selection downstream of notch on the X chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

To identify genomic regions affected by the rapid fixation of beneficial mutations (selective sweeps), we performed a scan of microsatellite variability across the Notch locus region of Drosophila melanogaster. Nine microsatellites spanning 60 kb of the X chromosome were surveyed for variation in one African and three non-African populations of this species. The microsatellites identified an approximately 14-kb...
