Molecular and phenotypic variation of the Zw locus region in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Restriction map polymorphism in a 13-kb region of the Zw locus in Drosophila melanogaster was investigated for 64 X chromosome lines with seven 6-cutter and ten 4-cutter restriction enzymes. A total of 203 restriction sites were scored, of which 20 were found to be polymorphic. The estimated nucleotide variation for this region for overall data (pi = 0.003 and 0.001, and theta = 0.003 and 0.002, for 4-cutter and...
