Abstract

Nucleotide sequence data provides a powerful tool for population geneticists to discriminate between competing evolutionary hypotheses. The Adh region of Drosophila pseudoobscura has been a model system for the study of population genetic processes including mutation , random genetic drift, migration, recombination, and natural selection. Here, l summarize the relative importance of the major evolutionary forces acting on this relatively simple gene and suggest three future population studies that are motivated by the Adh data analysis.
