Microsatellite variation and differentiation in African and non-African populations of Drosophila simulans.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2006

Schöfl Gerhard, Schlötterer Christian

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila simulans originated in sub-Saharan Africa or Madagascar and colonized the rest of the world after the last glaciation about 10 000 years ago. Consistent with this demographic history, sub-Saharan African populations have been shown to harbour higher levels of microsatellite and sequence variation than cosmopolitan populations. Nevertheless, only limited information is available on the population...
