Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The full power of modern genetics has been applied to the study of speciation in only a small handful of genetic model species--all of which speciated allopatrically. Here we report the first large expressed sequence tag (EST) study of a candidate for ecological sympatric speciation, the apple maggot Rhagoletis pomonella, using massively parallel pyrosequencing on the Roche 454-FLX platform. To...
