Patterns of sequence variability and divergence at the diminutive gene region of Drosophila melanogaster: complex patterns suggest an ancestral selective sweep.

Genetics - 1 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

To identify putatively swept regions of the Drosophila melanogaster genome, we performed a microsatellite screen spanning a 260-kb region of the X chromosome in populations from Zimbabwe, Ecuador, the United States, and China. Among the regions identified by this screen as showing a complex pattern of reduced heterozygosity and a skewed frequency spectrum was the gene diminutive (dm). To investigate the...
