Polymorphic Y chromosomes harbor cryptic variation with manifold functional consequences.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 4 Jan 2008

Lemos Bernardo, Araripe Luciana O, Hartl Daniel L

Abstract excerpt

The paucity of polymorphisms in single-copy genes on the Y chromosome of Drosophila contrasts with data indicating that this chromosome has polymorphic phenotypic effects on sex ratio, temperature sensitivity, behavior, and fitness. We show that the Y chromosome of D. melanogaster harbors substantial genetic diversity in the form of polymorphisms for genetic elements that differentially affect the expression of...
