Concurrent duplication of the Cid and Cenp-C genes in the Drosophila subgenus with signatures of subfunctionalization and male germline-biased expression [PDF]
, 2017 AbstractDespite their essential role in the process of chromosome segregation in eukaryotes, kinetochore proteins are highly diverse across species, being lost, duplicated, created, or diversified during evolution. Based on comparative genomics, the duplication of the inner kinetochore proteins CenH3 and Cenp-C, which are interdependent in their roles ...

Sequence heterogeneity and phylogenetic relationships between the copia retrotransposon in Drosophila species of the repleta and melanogaster groups [PDF]
, 2006 Although the retrotransposon copia has been studied in the melanogaster group of Drosophila species, very little is known about copia dynamism and evolution in other groups.

, 2016 Phylogenetic analysis of PGRP-SC1 and SC2 amino acid sequences using maximum likelihood. Support values indicate 100 bootstraps. Drosophila neotestacea has two PGRP-SC genes. The D. albomicans PGRP-SC1 signal peptide sequence is unresolved, and the current scaffold assembly in the D. guttifera genome does not contain the anterior region of its PGRP-SC1
