Tech Advance

This paper represents one of the first and probably the most comprehensive large scale population genomic survey of an animal species (in this case Drosophila simulans). This paper can serve as a model for population genomic studies of other species, such as humans. Many of the analyses in this paper are worth looking at if one is interested in population genomic studies for other organisms. The findings will also be of interest to anyone using Drosophila as a model system in the lab or for field studies.

Competing interests: I am in the same department as some of the authors of this paper.
