Exploration of the Drosophila buzzatii transposable element content suggests underestimation of repeats in Drosophila genomes.
Many new Drosophila genomes have been sequenced in recent years using new-generation sequencing platforms and assembly methods. Transposable elements (TEs), being repetitive sequences, are often misassembled, especially in th...Many new Drosophila genomes have been sequenced in recent ye...-
Genomics of ecological adaptation in cactophilic Drosophila.
Cactophilic Drosophila species provide a valuable model to study gene-environment interactions and ecological adaptation. Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila mojavensis are two cactophilic species that belong to the repleta gr...Cactophilic Drosophila species provide a valuable model to s... -
A divergent P element and its associated MITE, BuT5, generate chromosomal inversions and are widespread within the Drosophila repleta species group.
The transposon BuT5 caused two chromosomal inversions fixed in two Drosophila species of the repleta group, D. mojavensis and D. uniseta. BuT5 copies are approximately 1-kb long, lack any coding capacity, and do not resemble ...The transposon BuT5 caused two chromosomal inversions fixed ... -
The transposon Galileo generates natural chromosomal inversions in Drosophila by ectopic recombination.
Transposable elements (TEs) are responsible for the generation of chromosomal inversions in several groups of organisms. However, in Drosophila and other Dipterans, where inversions are abundant both as intraspecific polymorp...Transposable elements (TEs) are responsible for the generati... -
Genetic stability of sexing strains based on the locus sw of Ceratitis capitata.
This report deals with the process of improving the stability of medfly, Ceratitis capitata, genetic sexing strains (GSS) based on the sw mutation on chromosome 2. This gene affects the rate of development as well as the eye ...This report deals with the process of improving the stabilit...
