Connecting recombination, nucleotide diversity and species divergence in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

The association between recombination rate and nucleotide diversity provides compelling evidence for the action of natural selection across much of the Drosophila melanogaster genome. This conclusion is further supported by the lack of association between recombination rate and nucleotide divergence between species. However, studies of other species, including other Drosophila, have not always yielded the same...
