Natural selection in a population of Drosophila melanogaster explained by changes in gene expression caused by sequence variation in core promoter regions.

BMC evolutionary biology - 9 Feb 2016

Sato Mitsuhiko P, Makino Takashi, Kawata Masakado

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Understanding the evolutionary forces that influence variation in gene regulatory regions in natural populations is an important challenge for evolutionary biology because natural selection for such variations could promote adaptive phenotypic evolution. Recently, whole-genome sequence analyses have identified regulatory regions subject to natural selection. However, these studies could not identify...
