Abstract excerpt
Several allozyme-coding genes in Drosophila melanogaster show patterns suggesting that polymorphisms at these loci are targets of balancing selection. An important question is whether these genes have similar distributions of underlying DNA sequence variation which would indicate similar evolutio...
