How hot are drosophila hotspots? examining recombination rate variation and associations with nucleotide diversity, divergence, and maternal age in Drosophila pseudoobscura. [PDF]
Fine scale meiotic recombination maps have uncovered a large amount of variation in crossover rate across the genomes of many species, and such variation in mammalian and yeast genomes is concentrated to

Divergence of X-linked trans regulatory proteins and the misexpression of gene targets in sterile Drosophila pseudoobscura hybrids [PDF]
Background The genetic basis of hybrid incompatibilities is characterized by pervasive cases of gene interactions. Sex chromosomes play a major role in speciation and X-linked hybrid male sterility (HMS) genes have been identified. Interestingly, some of

Evidence that Natural Selection on Codon Usage in Drosophila pseudoobscura Varies Across Codons [PDF]
Like other species of Drosophila, Drosophila pseudoobscura has a distinct bias toward the usage of C- and G-ending codons. Previous studies have indicated that this bias is due, at least in part, to natural selection.

Molecular Population Genetics of Inversion Breakpoint Regions in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Paracentric inversions in populations can have a profound effect on the pattern and organization of nucleotide variability along a chromosome. Regions near inversion breakpoints are expected to have greater levels of differentiation because of reduced ...

Testes Proteases Expression and Hybrid Male Sterility Between Subspecies of Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Hybrid male sterility (HMS) is a form of postmating postzygotic isolation among closely related species that can act as an effective barrier to gene flow.

Chemical signals and social structures strengthen sexual isolation in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Species 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 ...

Conserved genomic organisation of Group B Sox genes in insects. [PDF]
Background Sox domain containing genes are important metazoan transcriptional regulators implicated in a wide rage of developmental processes. The vertebrate B subgroup contains the Sox1, Sox2 and Sox3 genes that have early functions in neural ...

Extensive divergence of transcription factor binding in Drosophila embryos with highly conserved gene expression. [PDF]
To better characterize how variation in regulatory sequences drives divergence in gene expression, we undertook a systematic study of transcription factor binding and gene expression in blastoderm embryos of four species, which sample much of the ...
