Population-based resequencing of experimentally evolved populations reveals the genetic basis of body size variation in Drosophila melanogaster.
Body size is a classic quantitative trait with evolutionarily significant variation within many species. Locating the alleles responsible for this variation would help understand the maintenance of variation in body size in particular, as well as quantitative traits in general. However, successful g...
