DrosoPhyla: genomic resources for drosophilid phylogeny and systematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster is a pivotal model for invertebrate development, genetics, physiology, neuroscience, and disease. The whole family Drosophilidae, which contains over 4000 species, offers a plethora of cases for comparative and ...

Parametric Alignment of Drosophila Genomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The classic algorithms of Needleman--Wunsch and Smith--Waterman find a maximum a posteriori probability alignment for a pair hidden Markov model (PHMM). In order to process large genomes that have undergone complex genome rearrangements, almost all existing whole genome alignment methods apply fast heuristics to divide genomes into small pieces which ...

Linked Selection and Gene Density Shape Genome‐Wide Patterns of Diversification in Peatmosses

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Genome evolution under speciation is poorly understood in nonmodel and nonvascular plants, such as bryophytes—the largest group of nonvascular land plants. Their genomes are structurally different from angiosperms and likely subjected to stronger linked selection pressure, which may have profound consequences on genome evolution in ...

Phylogeny of the Orangethroat Darter (Etheostoma spectabile) species complex in the Ozark Highlands of Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Darters are small, benthic fishes that live in freshwater rivers and streams and belong to the family Percidae. Pleistocene glaciations fragmented many darter species, resulting in speciation, but new species are often hard to detect if they are ...

Multiple invasions of Gypsy and Micropia retroelements in genus Zaprionus and melanogaster subgroup of the genus Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background The Zaprionus genus shares evolutionary features with the melanogaster subgroup, such as space and time of origin. Although little information about the transposable element content in the Zaprionus genus had been accumulated, some of their ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

A new Amazonian species from the Drosophila annulimana species group (Diptera, Drosophilidae) Uma nova espécie amazônica pertencente ao grupo de espécies Drosophila annulimana (Diptera, Drosophilidae)

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2012
Drosophila caxiuana sp. nov., Drosophila subgenus, is described and illustrated. This new species was collected in the Amazonian Biome (Caquajó river, Portel, Pará, Brazil) and is an atypical species to the group due the unusual morphology of the male ...

Widespread discordance of gene trees with species tree in Drosophila: evidence for incomplete lineage sorting.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
The phylogenetic relationship of the now fully sequenced species Drosophila erecta and D. yakuba with respect to the D. melanogaster species complex has been a subject of controversy.

Using molecular tools to differentiate closely related blackfly species of the genus Simulium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Biodiversity data are the foundation for conservation and managemet and taxonomy provides the reference system, skills and tools used to identify organisms.

Gap‐free X and Y chromosome assemblies of Salix arbutifolia reveal an evolutionary change from male to female heterogamety in willows, without a change in the position of the sex‐determining locus

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 242, Issue 6, Page 2872-2887, June 2024.
Summary In the Vetrix clade of Salix, a genus of woody flowering plants, sex determination involves chromosome 15, but an XY system has changed to a ZW system. We studied the detailed genetic changes involved. We used genome sequencing, with chromosome conformation capture (Hi‐C) and PacBio HiFi reads to assemble chromosome level gap‐free X and Y of ...
