Molecular and phenotypic variation in the achaete-scute region of Drosophila melanogaster.

Nature - 1 Nov 1990

Mackay T F, Langley C H

Abstract excerpt

Variation in quantitative characters underlies much adaptive evolution and provides the basis for selective improvement of domestic species, yet the genetic nature of quantitative variation is poorly understood. Many loci affecting quantitative traits have been identified by the segregation of mu...
