TL;DR: These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.

TL;DR: The sequencing of the 12 genomes of members of the genus Drosophila was taken as an opportunity to reevaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid in the mapping of assembled scaffolds.

TL;DR: If the strong genetic differentiation detected along O3 extends to other inversions, nucleotide variation would be highly structured not only in D. subobscura, but also in the genome of other species with a rich chromosomal polymorphism.

TL;DR: Nine single copy regions located on the X chromosome have been mapped by in situ hybridization in six species of the obscura group of Drosophila, finding that location of the studied markers has changed drastically not only since the divergence between the melanogaster and obscura groups but also since the Palearctic and Nearctic species of this group diverged.

TL;DR: A large number of papers dedicated to the chromosomes of chrysomelids have been published in the last eleven years, increasing substantially the authors' karvological knowledge on this family of beetles, of which more than 70% belong to only three subfamilies.
