Mind the gap: upgrading genomes with Pacific Biosciences RS long-read sequencing technology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Many genomes have been sequenced to high-quality draft status using Sanger capillary electrophoresis and/or newer short-read sequence data and whole genome assembly techniques. However, even the best draft genomes contain gaps and other imperfections due

Mitochondrial gene divergence of Colombian Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 1996 Isolated populations of drosophila pseudoobscura, separated from North American populations by about 2,400 km, were found in Colombia in 1960. We compared for sequences of the small ribosomal RNA (srRNA) gene on the mitochondria between North American and Colombian D. pseudoobscura in order to clarify the age of the Colombian isolates.

No evidence for learned mating discrimination in male
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Background Since females often pay a higher cost for heterospecific matings, mate discrimination and species recognition are driven primarily by female choice.

How hot are drosophila hotspots? examining recombination rate variation and associations with nucleotide diversity, divergence, and maternal age in Drosophila pseudoobscura. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Meiotic crossing over ensures proper segregation of homologous chromosomes and generates genotypic diversity. Despite these functions, little is known about the genetic factors and population genetic forces involved in the evolution of recombination rate

Resource Partitioning Among Genotypes of Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Evolution, 1983 It is appealing to think that competition among genotypes within a population is essentially like that among species within a community. Important for the community are interspecific resource specialization and partitioning, which contribute to its species richness and stability.

Sex Bias and Maternal Contribution to Gene Expression Divergence in Drosophila Blastoderm Embryos. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Early embryogenesis is a unique developmental stage where genetic control of development is handed off from mother to zygote. Yet the contribution of this transition to the evolution of gene expression is poorly understood.

Mating system manipulation and the evolution of sex-biased gene expression in Drosophila
Nature Communications, 2017 Sexual selection on males is thought to favour male-biased gene expression. Here, Veltsos et al. experimentally evolve Drosophila pseudoobscura under different mating systems and, contrary to expectation, most often find masculinization of the ...

Revealing posttranscriptional regulatory elements through network-level conservation. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2005 We used network-level conservation between pairs of fly (Drosophila melanogaster/D. pseudoobscura) and worm (Caenorhabditis elegans/C. briggsae) genomes to detect highly conserved mRNA motifs in 3' untranslated regions.
