Evolution of Chilean colonizing populations of Drosophila subobscura: lethal genes and chromosomal arrangements.

Genetica - 1 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of the frequency, distribution, and fate of lethal genes in chromosomal inversions helps to illuminate the evolution of recently founded populations. We analyze the relationship between lethal genes and inversions in two colonizing populations of D. subobscura in Chile. In the ancestral Palearctic populations of this species, lethal genes seem distributed at random on chromosomes. But in colonizing...
