Genome-wide patterns of local adaptation in Western European Drosophila melanogaster natural populations.

ABSTRACT: Signatures of spatially varying selection have been investigated both at the genomic and transcriptomic level in several organisms. In Drosophila melanogaster, the majority of these studies have analyzed North American and Australian populations, leading to the identification of several loci and traits under selection. However, several studies based mainly in North American populations showed evidence of admixture that likely contributed to the observed population differentiation patterns. Thus, disentangling demography from selection might be challenging when analyzing these populations. European populations could help identify loci under spatially varying selection provided that no recent admixture from African populations would have occurred. In this work, we individually sequence the g
