Patterns of variation at the Sod locus of Drosophila melanogaster suggest that the protein polymorphism at this locus has very recently arisen. In addition, it appears that a previously rare DNA variant has been recently and rapidly driven to intermediate frequency. From the size of the region (>20 kb) that has been swept along with this rare variant, and patterns of linkage disequilibrium in the region, it is inferred that strength of selection was large (s > 0.01) and that the sweep occurred more than 25,000 generations ago. In addition, there are striking similarities to patterns of variation observed at the Est6 and Est-P loci, which are located approximately 1,000 kb from Sod.
黑腹果蝇Sod基因座的变异模式表明,该基因座的蛋白质多态性是最近才出现的。此外,一个先前罕见的DNA变体似乎最近迅速达到了中等频率。从与这个罕见变体一起被扫描的区域大小(>20 kb)以及该区域的连锁不平衡模式可以推断,选择强度很大(s > 0.01),并且这种扫描发生在25000代以前。此外,它与在Est6和Est-P基因座观察到的变异模式有显著相似之处,这两个基因座距离Sod约1000 kb。
