Incipient balancing selection through adaptive loss of aquaporins in natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae populations.

A major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand how adaptive evolution has influenced natural variation, but identifying loci subject to positive selection has been a challenge. Here we present the adaptive loss of a pair of paralogous genes in specific Saccharomyces cerevisiae subpopulations....
