Two new Neotropical species of Drosophilinae (Diptera: Drosophilidae) from Uruguay [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2016 Two new species of Drosophilidae from Uruguay are described and illustrated: Drosophila montevidensis sp. nov. (Holotype male in MZSP: Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de la República, Montevideo city, Department of Montevideo), and Scaptomyza pipinna ...

Ribosomal intergenic spacer (IGS) length variation across the Drosophilinae (Diptera: Drosophilidae) [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005 Background The intergenic spacer of the ribosomal genes in eukaryotes (IGS) contains duplications of the core transcription promoter. The number of these duplicated promoters, as measured by the IGS length, appears to be correlated with growth rate and ...

Peculiarities of the <i>e(y)2</i> Gene Evolution in Deuterostomes and Drosophilinae. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciGene duplication, a major source of new genes in evolution, often occurs via reverse transcription of mRNA, leading to the integration of a retrocopy into a new genomic locus. Here, we performed an in-depth analysis of the evolutionary history of the e(y)2 gene in Metazoa. The E(y)2 protein is a shared subunit of two highly conserved complexes involved

Ancient origin for Hawaiian Drosophilinae inferred from protein comparisons. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1985 Immunological comparisons of a larval hemolymph protein enabled us to build a tree relating major groups of drosophiline flies in Hawaii to one another and to continental flies. The tree agrees in topology with that based on internal anatomy. Relative rate tests suggest that evolution of hemolymph proteins has been about as fast in Hawaii as on ...

A phylogenomic study of Steganinae fruit flies (Diptera: Drosophilidae): strong gene tree heterogeneity and evidence for monophyly [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background The Drosophilidae family is traditionally divided into two subfamilies: Drosophilinae and Steganinae. This division is based on morphological characters, and the two subfamilies have been treated as monophyletic in most of the literature, but ...

The genome sequence of a drosophilid fruit fly, <i>Chymomyza fuscimana</i> (Drosophilidae) (Zetterstedt, 1838). [PDF]
Wellcome Open Res, 2023 We present a genome assembly from an individual male Chymomyza fuscimana (drosophilid fruit fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Drosophilidae). The genome sequence is 338.0 megabases in span.

The origin and structural evolution of de novo genes in Drosophila [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRecent studies reveal that de novo gene origination from previously non-genic sequences is a common mechanism for gene innovation. These young genes provide an opportunity to study the structural and functional origins of proteins.
