Abstract excerpt

Fourteen Indian populations of D. melanogaster collected along a 22 degrees latitudinal range were analyzed electrophoretically to compare the geographical patterns of allozymic variation at 13 loci. The data show higher genetic differentiation on the basis of moderate to higher FST values and si...
