Journal ArticleDOI

Symbionts commonly provide broad spectrum resistance to viruses in insects: a comparative analysis of Wolbachia strains.

TL;DR: Wolbachia is making flies resistant to viruses, as increases in survival can be largely explained by reductions in viral titer, and the large variation in Wolbachia's antiviral properties highlights the need to carefully select Wolbachias introduced into mosquito populations to prevent the transmission of arboviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for a Global Wolbachia Replacement in Drosophila melanogaster

TL;DR: Analysis of long-term lab stocks together with wild-caught flies indicates that one of these variants has replaced the others globally within the last century, the first report of a global replacement of a Wolbachia strain in an insect host species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infectious Speciation Revisited: Impact of Symbiont-Depletion on Female Fitness and Mating Behavior of Drosophila paulistorum

TL;DR: The results indicate that formerly designated Mycoplasma-like organisms are most likely Wolbachia that have evolved by becoming essential mutualistic symbionts in their respective natural hosts; they have the potential to trigger pre- and postmating isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hidden Wolbachia diversity in field populations of the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera, Tephritidae).

TL;DR: Three new Wolbachia strains are detected in Rhagoletis cerasi, revealing the presence of low‐titre infections in some strains, in different ontogenetic stages and in adults of different age.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human cis natural antisense transcripts initiated by transposable elements

TL;DR: The capacity of human transposable elements to promote cis natural antisense transcripts (cis-NATs) is revealed by the discovery of 48,718 human gene antisense transcriptional start sites (TSSs) within TE sequences.
