Highly Contiguous Genome Assemblies of 15 Drosophila Species Generated Using Nanopore Sequencing

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
The Drosophila genus is a unique group containing a wide range of species that occupy diverse ecosystems. In addition to the most widely studied species, Drosophila melanogaster, many other members in this genus also possess a well-developed set of ...

Phylogenomic Analysis Reveals Evolutionary Relationships of Tropical Drosophilidae: From Drosophila to Scaptodrosophila

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The study expands genomic resources for Drosophila and Scaptodrosophila species by using mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed well‐supported evolutionary relationships, with Scaptodrosophila forming a distinct lineage and several Drosophila subgroups exhibiting monophyly, though discrepancies were found in the placement of the suzukii ...

Genomic characterization of a repetitive motif strongly associated with developmental genes in Drosophila

BMC Genomics, 2003
Background Non-coding DNA represents a high proportion of all metazoan genomes. Although an undetermined fraction of this DNA may be considered devoid of any function, it also contains important information residing in specific cis-regulatory sequences ...

Gene expression clines reveal local adaptation and associated trade-offs at a continental scale [PDF]

, 2016
Local adaptation, where fitness in one environment comes at a cost in another, should lead to spatial variation in trade-offs between life history traits and may be critical for population persistence.

Long‐Term Maintenance of Complex Chromosomal Inversion Polymorphism in Drosophila mediopunctata

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
It has become increasingly clear that natural selection favors haplotypes that draw functionally related genes together, often targeting mechanisms that control recombination rates. In this paper, we show that the long‐term maintenance of linkage disequilibrium between linked non‐overlapping chromosomal inversions in a Drosophila species may arise from

Evolution of sex‐biased genes in Drosophila species with neo‐sex chromosomes: Potential contribution to reducing the sexual conflict

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
In theory, having sex chromosomes is advantageous to reduce sexual conflict. Our analyses revealed that many genes have acquired the sex‐biased expression on the neo‐sex chromosomes particularly at the larval stage. Our study indicates that cryptic sexual conflict at the preadult stages cannot be ignored, and some of these conflicts may have been ...

Time in a bottle: the evolutionary fate of species discrimination in sibling Drosophila species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Disadvantageous hybridization favors the evolution of prezygotic isolating behaviors, generating a geographic pattern of interspecific mate discrimination where members of different species drawn from sympatric populations exhibit stronger preference for

Dysfunction of Drosophila mitochondrial carrier homolog (Mtch) alters apoptosis and disturbs development

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 276-289, February 2024.
Mitochondrial carrier homologs 1 (MTCH1) and 2 (MTCH2) are outer mitochondrial membrane translocases related to inner membrane carriers. In humans, MTCH1 interacts with presenilin 1 and induces apoptosis upon overexpression. We show here that the Drosophila ortholog is required for development, inducing apoptosis upon its downregulation both in the ...
