Genetic Variation in Chromatin State Across Multiple Tissues in Drosophila melanogaster

Khoi Huynh, Brittny R. Smith, Stuart J. Macdonald, Anthony D. Long

The paper uses ATAC-seq to analyze chromatin accessibility across four tissues in eight Drosophila melanogaster genotypes, identifying polymorphic regions and candidate causal variants after correcting for structural variants.

Natural tolerance to transposition is associated with double-strand break repair and germ-cell differentiation

Jyoti Lama, Satyam P. Srivastav, Sadia Tasnim, Donald Hubbard, Savana Hadjipanteli, Brittny R. Smith, Stuart J. Macdonald, Llewellyn Green, Erin S. Kelleher

The paper identifies genetic variants that confer tolerance to transposition in Drosophila by linking them to double-strand break repair and germline differentiation.

The genetic basis of variation immune defense against Lysinibacillus fusiformis infection in Drosophila melanogaster

Brittny R. Smith, Kistie B. Patch, Robert L. Unckless

The paper examines genetic variation in immune defense against Lysinibacillus fusiformis in three Drosophila populations, finding little overlap in genetic architecture but shared QTL for resistance to two pathogens.

The meiotic recombination landscape of Drosophila virilis is robust to mitotic damage during hybrid dysgenesis

Lucas W. Hemmer, Guilherme Borges Dias, Brittny R. Smith, Kelley Van Vaerenberghe, Ashley Howard, Casey Bergman, Justin P. Blumenstiel

The paper examines how meiotic recombination in Drosophila virilis is affected by transposable element activation during hybrid dysgenesis, finding it robust but with mitotic recombination effects.
