As it becomes easier to sequence multiple genomes from closely related species,
evolutionary biologists working on speciation are struggling to get the most out of very large …

Drosophila has been studied as a biological model for many years and many discoveries in
biology rely on this species. Research on transposable elements (TEs) is not an exception …

A common method of minimizing errors in large DNA sequence data sets is to drop variable
sites with a minor allele frequency (MAF) below some specified threshold. Although …

Fruit flies of the genus Drosophila have been an attractive and effective genetic model
organism since Thomas Hunt Morgan and colleagues made seminal discoveries with them …

In many species, genomic data have revealed pervasive adaptive evolution indicated by the
fixation of beneficial alleles. However, when selection pressures are highly variable along a …

Reduced representation genome‐sequencing approaches based on restriction digestion
are enabling large‐scale marker generation and facilitating genomic studies in a wide range …

Adaptation from standing genetic variation or recurrent de novo mutation in large
populations should commonly generate soft rather than hard selective sweeps. In contrast to …

Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable invertebrate model for viral infection and antiviral
immunity, and is a focus for studies of insect-virus coevolution. Here we use a metagenomic …

Hundreds of wild-derived Drosophila melanogaster genomes have been published, but
rigorous comparisons across data sets are precluded by differences in alignment …

Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory Explore the fundamentals of the
biological implications of population genetic theory In the newly revised Second Edition of …
