Balancing Selection Drives the Maintenance of Genetic Variation in Drosophila Antimicrobial Peptides

Genes involved in immune defense against pathogens provide some of the most well-known examples of both directional and balancing selection. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are innate immune effector genes, playing a key role in pathogen clearance in many species, including Drosophila. Conflicting lin...
