Chromosomal analysis of D. melanogaster long-term selected lines
Article Abstract:
The distribution and effect of genes responsible for the dorsocentral bristle number of Drosophila melanogaster reached by long-term selection was studied by crosses and chromosomal substitutions among five selected lines. Genetic analyses showed that variability originated in the course of selection by a low-probability nonrandom mechanism including the occurrence of rare recombination events.

Inferences on the Role of Insertion in a Mutation Accumulation Experiment with Drosophila melanogaster Using RAPDs
Article Abstract:
Evidence is presented that supports the generality of prior estimates regarding spontaneous mutation rates for fitness and morphological fitness traits based on Drosophila melanogaster mutation accumulation lines.
