title: Generic sample from Drosophila melanogaster
organism: Drosophila melanogaster
description: Pooled samples of five replicated populations of Drosophila that have experienced no selection for development time.  These are the matched ancestral populations to the ACO populations selected for accelerated development.  They have been maintained in the laboratory for over 200 generations on a 28-day cycle.  A total of 25 female flies per population (125 individuals total) were used in the pool.
