PLoS ONE, 2012 RNA-Seq is a powerful tool for the annotation of genomes, in particular for the identification of isoforms and UTRs. Nevertheless, several software tools exist and no standard strategy to obtain a reliable annotation is yet established.

A recombinational portrait of the Drosophila pseudoobscura genome
Genetical Research, 2006 Drosophila pseudoobscura has been intensively studied by evolutionary biologists for over 70 years. The recent publication of the genome sequence not only permits studies of comparative genomics with other dipterans but also opens the door to identifying genes associated with adaptive traits or speciation or testing for the signature of natural ...

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2061-2077, May 2026.Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

Conserved genomic organisation of Group B Sox genes in insects.
BMC Genetics, 2005 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 ...

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 48-62, March 2026.Most Drosophila species, such as D. melanogaster, make one type of sperm, while the obscura species group produces multiple sperm morphs, with different total lengths and nuclear lengths. The pseudoobscura species subgroup produces three sperm morphs (one long, two short). This is a derived feature as other sub‐groups produce two sperm morphs.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 The Drosophila obscura species group is one of the most studied clades of Drosophila and harbors multiple distinct karyotypes. Here we present a de novo genome assembly and annotation of D. bifasciata, a species which represents an important subgroup for

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.This study elucidates a molecular mechanism enabling species coexistence between parasitoid wasps, showing how Asobara japonica uses a set of novel venom proteins to delay host development and exploit older hosts, thereby achieving temporal niche partitioning with Leptopilina drosophilae. Abstract Interspecific competition can drive species coexistence

PLoS ONE, 2014 Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which animals can cope with rapidly changeable environments, but the evolutionary lability of such plasticity remains unclear.

Drosophila Sexual Attractiveness in Older Males Is Mediated by Their Microbiota
Microorganisms, 2020 Age is well known to be a basis for female preference of males. However, the mechanisms underlying age-based choices are not well understood, with several competing theories and little consensus.

Extensive divergence of transcription factor binding in Drosophila embryos with highly conserved gene expression. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 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 ...
