Population genetics of the cytoplasm and the units of selection on mitochondrial DNA in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetica - 1 May 2011

Rand David M

Abstract excerpt

Biological variation exists across a nested set of hierarchical levels from nucleotides within genes to populations within species to lineages within the tree of life. How selection acts across this hierarchy is a long-standing question in evolutionary biology. Recent studies have suggested that genome size is influenced largely by the balance of selection, mutation and drift in lineages with different population...
