Surprising differences in the variability of Y chromosomes in African and cosmopolitan populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2013

Larracuente Amanda M, Clark Andrew G

Abstract excerpt

The nonrecombining Drosophila melanogaster Y chromosome is heterochromatic and has few genes. Despite these limitations, there remains ample opportunity for natural selection to act on the genes that are vital for male fertility and on Y factors that modulate gene expression elsewhere in the genome. Y chromosomes of many organisms have low levels of nucleotide variability, but a formal survey of D. melanogaster Y...
