Polygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: genetic analysis of selection lines.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1995

Fry J D, deRonde K A, Mackay T F

Abstract excerpt

We have conducted genetic analyses of 12 long-term selection lines of Drosophila melanogaster derived from a highly inbred base population, containing new mutations affecting abdominal and sternopleural bristle number. Biometric analysis of the number of effective factors differentiating the selected lines from the base inbred indicated that with the exception of the three lines selected for increased number of...
