Abstract excerpt
The packaging of DNA into proper chromatin structure contributes to transcriptional regulation. This packaging is environment sensitive, yet its role in adaptation to novel environmental conditions is completely unknown. We set out to identify candidate chromatin-remodeling loci that are differentiated between tropical and temperate populations in Drosophila melanogaster, an ancestrally equatorial African species...
