The evolutionary origins of beneficial alleles during the repeated adaptation of garter snakes to deadly prey.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 11 Aug 2009

Feldman Chris R, Brodie Edmund D, Brodie Edmund D, Pfrender Michael E

Abstract excerpt

Where do the genetic variants underlying adaptive change come from? Are currently adaptive alleles recruited by selection from standing genetic variation within populations, moved through introgression from other populations, or do they arise as novel mutations? Here, we examine the molecular bas...
