Functional characterization of adaptive variation within a cis-regulatory element influencing Drosophila melanogaster growth.

Gene expression variation is a major contributor to phenotypic diversity within species and is thought to play an important role in adaptation. However, examples of adaptive regulatory polymorphism are rare, especially those that have been characterized at both the molecular genetic level and the or...
