DNA sequence variation at the period locus within and among species of the Drosophila melanogaster complex.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1993

Kliman R M, Hey J

Abstract excerpt

A 1.9-kilobase region of the period locus was sequenced in six individuals of Drosophila melanogaster and from six individuals of each of three sibling species: Drosophila simulans, Drosophila sechellia and Drosophila mauritiana. Extensive genealogical analysis of 174 polymorphic sites reveals a complex history. It appears that D. simulans, as a large population still segregating very old lineages, gave rise to...
