Abstract excerpt
In natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster, there are many amylase (AMY) isozymes encoded by the duplicated genes, but their adaptive significance remains unclear. One approach to elucidate this issue is to understand the molecular basis of functional differences between the allelic classes. In this study, the effects of nucleotide polymorphism in 5'-flanking (cis-regulatory) and coding regions on AMY...
