Genome scans of variation and adaptive change: extended analysis of a candidate locus close to the phantom gene region in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Nucleotide variation in populations originating from the recent range expansion of a species should reflect their adaptation to new habitats as well as their demographic history. A survey of nucleotide variation at 109 noncoding X-chromosome fragments in a European population of Drosophila melanogaster allowed identifying some candidates to have been recently affected by positive selection. Adaptive changes leave...
