Chemical signals and social structures strengthen sexual isolation in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Communications BiologySpecies that coexist in hybrid zones sexually isolate through reproductive character displacement, a mechanism that favours divergence between species. In Drosophila, behavioural and physiological traits discourage heterospecific mating between species ...

Zinc finger binding motifs do not explain recombination rate variation within or between species of Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In humans and mice, the Cys(2)His(2) zinc finger protein PRDM9 binds to a DNA sequence motif enriched in hotspots of recombination, possibly modifying nucleosomes, and recruiting recombination machinery to initiate Double Strand Breaks (DSBs).

In vivo RNAi rescue in Drosophila melanogaster with genomic transgenes from Drosophila pseudoobscura. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Systematic, large-scale RNA interference (RNAi) approaches are very valuable to systematically investigate biological processes in cell culture or in tissues of organisms such as Drosophila.

Odorant receptor (Or) genes: polymorphism and divergence in the D. melanogaster and D. pseudoobscura lineages. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: In insects, like in most invertebrates, olfaction is the principal sensory modality, which provides animals with essential information for survival and reproduction.

An Improved Method for Identification of Pre-miRNA in
IEEE Access, 2020 Identification of microRNAs is important in studies of regulation of gene expression in many biologyical processes. In this study, we developed an improved method for identification of microRNAs in Drosophila.

An investigation of Y chromosome incorporations in 400 species of Drosophila and related genera. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Y chromosomes are widely believed to evolve from a normal autosome through a process of massive gene loss (with preservation of some male genes), shaped by sex-antagonistic selection and complemented by occasional gains of male-related genes.

Ubiquitination of secretory granules promotes their crinophagic degradation in Drosophila. [PDF]
FEBS LettUbiquitination of secretory granules in Drosophila larval salivary glands is a critical molecular trigger for crinophagy, the lysosomal degradation of unreleased, or low‐quality granules. The E3 ubiquitin ligase Cnot4 is recruited to the surface of secretory granules to induce crinophagy.
