Protein Variation in Drosophila simulans, and Comparison of Genes from Centromeric Versus Noncentromeric Regions of Chromosome 3
Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California–Davis
Several studies of Drosophila melanogaster have reported patterns of DNA variation in genes located near centromeres or near the telomere of the X chromosome (Aguadé, Miyashita, and Langley 1989
; Langley et al. 1993, 2000
; Wayne and Kreitman 1996
). There is good evidence of reduced crossing over for these regions in D. melanogaster. However, there are relatively few population data for such regions in Drosophila simulans (Begun and Aquadro 1991
; Martin-Campos et al. 1992
; Hilton, Kliman, and Hey 1994
; Wayne and Kreitman 1996
). Here I report data from population samples of four genes located near the centromere of chromosome 3 in D. simulans: Hem-protein, CKII-
, Gelsolin, and Amalgam. The physical locations of these genes in D. melanogaster are 79E2, 80A, 82A1–3, and 84A5, respectively. Because there are
