Abstract Background Understanding how DNA sequence polymorphism relates to variation in gene expression is essential to connecting genotypic differences with phenotypic differences among individuals. Addressing this question requires linking population genomic data with gene expression variation. Results Using whole genome expression data and recent light shotgun genome sequencing of six Drosophila simulans genotypes we assessed the relationship between expression variation in males and females and nucleotide polymorphism across thousands of loci. By examining sequence polymorphism in gene features such as untranslated regions and introns we find that genes showing greater variation in .
