    Mol Biol Evol 25:1728-36. 2008
    ..Investigating the potential of this process to account for sharply reduced X-linked diversity in European Drosophila melanogaster, we find that this model yields predictions that are compatible with the empirical data...

    Genetics 181:711-9. 2009
    ..m. musculus, we find evidence for an increase in the rate of hybridization. Our findings could indicate an evolutionary trajectory toward fusion rather than speciation in these taxa...

    Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
    Genome Res 20:291-300. 2010
    ..Here, we assess the challenges to analyzing whole-genome sequence polymorphism data, and we discuss the potential of these data to yield new insights concerning population history and the genomic prevalence of natural selection...

    ..melanogaster might have come from this region. Finally, we find a large excess of singleton polymorphisms in the full data set, which is best explained by a combination of population growth and purifying selection...
