The effects of purifying selection on patterns of genetic differentiation between Drosophila melanogaster populations.

Heredity - 1 Feb 2015

Jackson B C, Campos J L, Zeng K

Abstract excerpt

Using the data provided by the Drosophila Population Genomics Project, we investigate factors that affect the genetic differentiation between Rwandan and French populations of D. melanogaster. By examining within-population polymorphisms, we show that sites in long introns (especially those >2000 bp) have significantly lower π (nucleotide diversity) and more low-frequency variants (as measured by Tajima's D,...
