Evidence of gene conversion associated with a selective sweep in Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 2006

Glinka Sascha, De Lorenzo David, Stephan Wolfgang

Abstract excerpt

Since Drosophila melanogaster colonized Europe from tropical Africa 10 to 15 thousand years ago, it is expected that adaptation has played a major role in this species in recent times. A previously conducted multilocus scan of noncoding DNA sequences on the X chromosome in an ancestral and a derived population of D. melanogaster revealed that some loci have been affected by directional selection in the European...
