Rate and cost of adaptation in the Drosophila Genome [PDF]
Recent studies have consistently inferred high rates of adaptive molecular evolution between Drosophila species. At the same time, the Drosophila genome evolves under different rates of recombination, which results in partial genetic linkage between alleles at neighboring genomic loci. Here we analyze how linkage correlations affect adaptive evolution.

Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the mid brain which leads to the depletion of dopamine levels.

Drosophila CG3303 is an essential endoribonuclease linked to TDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration [PDF]
Endoribonucleases participate in almost every step of eukaryotic RNA metabolism, acting either as degradative or biosynthetic enzymes. We previously identified the founding member of the Eukaryotic EndoU ribonuclease family, whose components display ...

RNA-DNA strand exchange by the Drosophila Polycomb complex PRC2. [PDF]
Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins form memory of transient transcriptional repression that is necessary for development. In Drosophila, DNA elements termed Polycomb Response Elements (PREs) recruit PcG proteins.

Cluster partitions and fitness landscapes of the Drosophila fly microbiome [PDF]
Beerenwinkel et al.(2007) suggested studying fitness landscapes via regular subdivisions of convex polytopes. Building on their approach we propose cluster partitions and cluster filtrations of fitness landscapes as a new mathematical tool. In this way, we provide a concise combinatorial way of processing metric information from epistatic interactions.

Paralog Explorer: A resource for mining information about paralogs in common research organisms
Paralogs are genes which arose via gene duplication, and when such paralogs retain overlapping or redundant function, this poses a challenge to functional genetics research.

Polytene chromosomes as indicators of phylogeny in several species groups of Drosophila. [PDF]
BackgroundPolytene chromosome banding patterns have long been used by Drosophila evolutionists to infer degree of relatedness among taxa. Recently, nucleotide sequences have preempted this traditional method.
