The analysis of polymorphism data is becoming increasingly important as a complementary
tool to classical genetic analyses. Nevertheless, despite plunging sequencing costs …

Speciation is a fundamental evolutionary process, the knowledge of which is crucial for
understanding the origins of biodiversity. Genomic approaches are an increasingly …

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 …

The long-lasting success of forward genetic screens relies on the simple molecular basis of
the characterized phenotypes, which are typically caused by mutations in single genes …

The Drosophila genus is a unique group containing a wide range of species that occupy
diverse ecosystems. In addition to the most widely studied species, Drosophila …

Many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate chromatin states, but the evolutionary
origin and dynamics driving lncRNA–genome interactions are unclear. We adapted an …

Molecular population genetics aims to explain genetic variation and molecular evolution
from population genetics principles. The field was born 50 years ago with the first measures …

Sex chromosomes are susceptible to the evolution of selfish meiotic drive elements that bias
transmission and distort progeny sex ratios. Conflict between such sex-ratio drivers and the …

Next generation sequencing of pooled samples is an effective approach for studies of
variability and differentiation in populations. In this paper we provide a comprehensive set of …

Abstract Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology is based on cutting DNA into small
fragments and their massive parallel sequencing. The multiple overlap** segments …
