Allozyme polymorphism at the alpha Gpdh and Adh loci and fitness in Drosophila melanogaster.

abstract：:Disease-associated variants in the human genome are continually being identified using DNA sequencing technologies that are especially effective for Mendelian disorders. Here we sequenced whole genome to high coverage (>30×) of 6 members of a 7-generation family with dwarfism from a consanguineous tribe in Pakistan to...
