Linkage disequilibrium in natural and experimental populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
We have studied linkage disequilibrium in Drosophila melanogaster in two samples from a wild population and in four large laboratory populations derived from the wild samples. We have assayed four polymorphic enzyme loci, fairly closely linked in the third chromosome: Sod Est-6, Pgm, and Odh. The assay method used allows us to identify the allele associations separately in each of the two homol...
متن کاملGenes affecting productivity in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
Two hundred second chromosomes were extracted from a Japanese population in October of 1972, and the viabilities and productivities of homozygotes and heterozygotes from them were examined. Viability was measured by the Cgamma method and productivity by the number of progeny produced per female. The frequency of lethal-carrying chromosomes was 0.1315. When the average heterozygote viability was...
متن کاملGenomic variation in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
This report of independent genome sequences of two natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster (37 from North America and 6 from Africa) provides unique insight into forces shaping genomic polymorphism and divergence. Evidence of interactions between natural selection and genetic linkage is abundant not only in centromere- and telomere-proximal regions, but also throughout the euchromatic ar...
متن کاملExtensive paternal mtDNA leakage in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster
Strict maternal inheritance is considered a hallmark of animal mtDNA. Although recent reports suggest that paternal leakage occurs in a broad range of species, it is still considered an exceptionally rare event. To evaluate the impact of paternal leakage on the evolution of mtDNA, it is essential to reliably estimate the frequency of paternal leakage in natural populations. Using allele-specifi...
متن کاملTransposable elements in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
Transposable elements (TEs) are families of small DNA sequences found in the genomes of virtually all organisms. The sequences typically encode essential components for the replicative transposition sequences of that TE family. Thus, TEs are simply genomic parasites that inflict detrimental mutations on the fitness of their hosts. Several models have been proposed for the containment of TE copy...
