Increased nucleotide diversity with transient Y linkage in Drosophila americana.
PloS one - 27 Dec 2006
McAllister Bryant F, Evans Amy L
Abstract excerpt
Recombination shapes nucleotide variation within genomes. Patterns are thought to arise from the local recombination landscape, influencing the degree to which neutral variation experiences hitchhiking with selected variation. This study examines DNA polymorphism along Chromosome 4 (element B) of Drosophila americana to identify effects of hitchhiking arising as a consequence of Y-linked transmission. A...
