Abstract excerpt
The sequences of thirty D. melanogaster ribosomal DNA promoter regions have been determined. Fifteen of these were isolated from a wild population recently captured in North Wootten, England. The other fifteen were isolated from an inbred laboratory strain. The overall level of variation is almost twice as high in the North Wootten strain as in the inbred laboratory strain. Two mutations at nucleotides -17 and...
