Reduced variation in Drosophila simulans mitochondrial DNA.

Genetics - 1 Dec 1996

Ballard J W, Hatzidakis J, Karr T L, Kreitman M

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the evolutionary dynamics of infection of a Drosophila simulans population by a maternally inherited insect bacterial parasite, Wolbachia, by analyzing nucleotide variability in three regions of the mitochondrial genome in four infected and 35 uninfected lines. Mitochondrial variability is significantly reduced compared to a noncoding region of a nuclear-encoded gene in both uninfected and pooled...
