Journal ArticleDOI

The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel

TL;DR: The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel is described, a community resource for analysis of population genomics and quantitative traits, which reveals reduced polymorphism in centromeric autosomal regions and the X chromosomes, evidence for positive and negative selection, and rapid evolution of the X chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome of Drosophila suzukii, the Spotted Wing Drosophila

TL;DR: The basic properties of the genome and transcriptome are discussed and patterns of genome evolution in D. suzukii and its close relatives are described and presented in a web portal, SpottedWingFlyBase, to facilitate public access.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abundance and Distribution of Transposable Elements in Two Drosophila QTL Mapping Resources

TL;DR: Computational machinery is presented to efficiently and accurately identify transposable element (TE) insertions in 146 next-generation sequenced inbred strains of Drosophila melanogaster, suggesting that “burden tests” that test for the effect of TEs as a class may be more fruitful.
Journal ArticleDOI

Landscape of standing variation for tandem duplications in Drosophila yakuba and Drosophila simulans.

TL;DR: The results suggest that tandem duplications often result in complex variation beyond whole gene duplications that offers a rich substrate of standing variation that is likely to contribute both to detrimental phenotypes and disease, as well as to adaptive evolutionary change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pollinator specialization and pollination syndromes of three related North American Silene.

TL;DR: Compared across the Silene species, divergent floral character states are consistent with increasing the attraction and/ or pollen transfer efficiency of their respective major pollinators, which suggests that the pollinators are past and/or contemporary selective agents for floral trait evolution in these three Silenespecies.
