Evidence for balanced linkage of X chromosome polygenes in a natural population of Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1991

Thompson J N, Hellack J J, Tucker R R

Abstract excerpt

Extensive levels of polygenic variation can be maintained in a population without creating a severe segregational load. One way to account for this is that the alleles are arranged on a chromosome so that different regions balance each other phenotypically. To test whether this occurs in a natural population, we isolated ten Drosophila melanogaster X chromosomes and mapped regions of polygenic activity affecting...
