Mutation and evolution of microsatellites in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1998

Schug M D, Hutter C M, Noor M A, Aquadro C F

Abstract excerpt

Levels of nucleotide polymorphism in the Drosophila melanogaster genome are correlated with rates of recombination. This relationship may be due to hitchhiking of advantageous mutations (selective sweeps) or to continual removal of deleterious mutations from the genome (background selection). One test of the relative contributions of selective sweeps and background selection to the observed levels of variation in...
