Large-scale selective sweep among Segregation Distorter chromosomes in African populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

PLoS genetics - 1 May 2009

Presgraves Daven C, Gérard Pierre R, Cherukuri Anjuli, Lyttle Terrence W

Abstract excerpt

Segregation Distorter (SD) is a selfish, coadapted gene complex on chromosome 2 of Drosophila melanogaster that strongly distorts Mendelian transmission; heterozygous SD/SD(+) males sire almost exclusively SD-bearing progeny. Fifty years of genetic, molecular, and theory work have made SD one of the best-characterized meiotic drive systems, but surprisingly the details of its evolutionary origins and population...
