Nucleotide variation at the hypervariable esterase 6 isozyme locus of Drosophila simulans.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 1995

Karotam J, Boyce T M, Oakeshott J G

Abstract excerpt

Esterase 6 (Est-6/EST6) is polymorphic in both Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans for two common allozyme forms, as well as for several other less common variants. Parallel latitudinal clines in the frequencies of the common EST6-F and EST6-S allozymes in these species have previously been interpreted in terms of a shared amino acid polymorphism that distinguishes the two variants and is subject to...
