Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics: Junk DNA as an evolutionary force
TL;DR: The two-pronged evolutionary impact of transposable elements are considered as promoters of genetic diversity, and as agents for inflicting genetic damage and causing disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotype-environment interaction for quantitative trait loci affecting life span in Drosophila melanogaster.
Cristina Vieira,Elena G. Pasyukova,Elena G. Pasyukova,Zhao-Bang Zeng,J. B. Hackett,Richard F. Lyman,Trudy F. C. Mackay +6 more
TL;DR: The nature of genetic variation for Drosophila longevity in a population of recombinant inbred lines was investigated, providing support for the pleiotropy theory of senescence and the hypothesis that variation for longevity might be maintained by opposing selection pressures in males and females and variable environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
De novo assembly and annotation of the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) repeatome with dnaPipeTE from raw genomic reads and comparative analysis with the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti).
Clément Goubert,Laurent Modolo,Laurent Modolo,Cristina Vieira,Cristina Vieira,Claire ValienteMoro,Patrick Mavingui,Matthieu Boulesteix,Matthieu Boulesteix +8 more
TL;DR: The dnaPipeTE pipeline’s ability to manage the repeatome annotation problem will make it helpful for new or ongoing assembly projects, and the results will benefit future genomic studies of A. albopictus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is genome size influenced by colonization of new environments in dipteran species
Christiane Nardon,G. Deceliere,C. Lœvenbruck,Michèle Weiss,Cristina Vieira,Christian Biémont +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that genome size is seldom modified in a significant way during colonization or that it takes time for genome size of invading species to change significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jumping genes and epigenetics: Towards new species
TL;DR: It is suggested that macroevolution and speciation might originate when the host relaxes its epigenetic control of TEs and the resulting TE mobilization drives genome restructuring that may sometimes provide the host with an innovative genetic escape route.
