African and North American populations of Drosophila melanogaster are very different at the DNA level.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding genetic evolution within species requires an accurate description of variation within and between populations and the ability to distinguish between the potential causes of an observed distribution of variation. In the cosmopolitan species Drosophila melanogaster, previous studies suggested that gene flow within and between continents is extensive and that most of the nuclear gene variation is found...
