Journal ArticleDOI
Sex-Biased Gene Expression
Sonja Grath,John Parsch +1 more
TL;DR: The current knowledge of sex-biased gene expression in both model and nonmodel organisms is reviewed, as well as the biological and technical factors that should be considered when analyzing sex- biased expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic and Morphological Evidence Converge to Resolve the Enigma of Strepsiptera
Oliver Niehuis,Gerrit Hartig,Sonja Grath,Hans Pohl,Jörg Lehmann,Hakim Tafer,Alexander Donath,Veiko Krauss,Carina Eisenhardt,Jana Hertel,Malte Petersen,Christoph Mayer,Karen Meusemann,Ralph S. Peters,Peter F. Stadler,Rolf G. Beutel,Erich Bornberg-Bauer,Duane D. McKenna,Bernhard Misof +18 more
TL;DR: The sequencing of a Strepsiptera genome is reported and it is shown that the analysis of sequence-based genomic data, along with genomic metacharacters, clarifies the phylogenetic origin of StrepsIPtera and sheds light on the evolution of holometabolous insect development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signatures of DNA Methylation across Insects Suggest Reduced DNA Methylation Levels in Holometabola.
Panagiotis Provataris,Karen Meusemann,Karen Meusemann,Oliver Niehuis,Sonja Grath,Bernhard Misof +5 more
TL;DR: A functional methylation system relying exclusively on DNA methyltransferase 1 is widespread across insects, and evolutionarily conserved insect genes associated with housekeeping functions tend to display signs of heavier DNA methylation in comparison to the genomic/transcriptomic background.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Analysis of European Drosophila melanogaster Populations Reveals Longitudinal Structure, Continent-Wide Selection, and Previously Unknown DNA Viruses

TL;DR: These analyses uncover longitudinal population structure, provide evidence for continent-wide selective sweeps, identify candidate genes for local climate adaptation, and document clines in chromosomal inversion and transposable element frequencies in European Drosophila melanogaster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics and Adaptive Benefits of Protein Domain Emergence and Arrangements during Plant Genome Evolution
TL;DR: The dynamics of domain rearrangements are studied and the high volatility of single domains and complex arrangements in plant genomes demonstrate the importance of modularity for environmental adaptability of plants.
