Population Genetic and Functional Analysis of a <i>cis</i>-Regulatory Polymorphism in the <i>Drosophila</i> <i>melanogaster</i> <i>Metallothionein A</i> gene

Although gene expression can vary extensively within and among populations, the genetic basis of this variation and the evolutionary forces that maintain it are largely unknown. In <i>Drosophila</i> <i>melanogaster</i>, a 49-bp insertion/deletion (indel) polymorphism in the &...
