Molecular variation at the vermilion locus in geographically diverse populations of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1995

Begun D J, Aquadro C F

Abstract excerpt

We surveyed nucleotide variation at vermilion in population samples of Drosophila melanogaster from Africa, Asia and the Americas to test the hypothesis that the vermilion gene was a target of balancing selection and to improve our understanding of geographic differentiation. Patterns of polymorphism and divergence showed no evidence for non-neutral evolution. However, the frequency spectrum of polymorphic sites...
