A Variable Genetic Architecture of Melanic Evolution in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2016

Bastide Héloïse, Lange Jeremy D, Lack Justin B, Yassin Amir, Pool John E

Abstract excerpt

Unraveling the genetic architecture of adaptive phenotypic divergence is a fundamental quest in evolutionary biology. In Drosophila melanogaster, high-altitude melanism has evolved in separate mountain ranges in sub-Saharan Africa, potentially as an adaptation to UV intensity. We investigated the genetic basis of this melanism in three populations using a new bulk segregant analysis mapping method. We identified...
