48 polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterized in 13 D. melanogaster populations originating from Europe, America and Africa. Consistent with previous results, the African D. melanogaster populations were the most differentiated populations and harbored most variation. Despite an overall similarity, American and European populations were significantly differentiated. Interestingly, genetic distances based on the proportion of shared alleles as well as FST values suggested that the American D. melanogaster populations are closer related to the African populations than European ones. We also detected a higher proportion of African alleles in the American populations, indicating recent admixture of African alleles on the American continent.
