Tandem Duplications and the Limits of Natural Selection in Drosophila yakuba and Drosophila simulans.

Tandem duplications are an essential source of genetic novelty, and their variation in natural populations is expected to influence adaptive walks. Here, we describe evolutionary impacts of recently-derived, segregating tandem duplications in Drosophila yakuba and Drosophila simulans. We observe an...
