Population-based resequencing of experimentally evolved populations reveals the genetic basis of body size variation in Drosophila melanogaster.

PLoS genetics - 1 Mar 2011

Turner Thomas L, Stewart Andrew D, Fields Andrew T, Rice William R, Tarone Aaron M

Abstract excerpt

Body size is a classic quantitative trait with evolutionarily significant variation within many species. Locating the alleles responsible for this variation would help understand the maintenance of variation in body size in particular, as well as quantitative traits in general. However, successful genome-wide association of genotype and phenotype may require very large sample sizes if alleles have low population...
