Recurrent gene amplification on Drosophila Y chromosomes suggests cryptic sex chromosome drive is common on young sex chromosomes

Chris Ellison, Doris Bachtrog

The paper shows that gene amplification on Drosophila Y chromosomes indicates recurrent meiotic drive, shaping sex chromosome evolution and genomic patterns.

Recombining without hotspots: A comprehensive evolutionary portrait of recombination in two closely related species of Drosophila

Caiti Smukowski Heil, Chris Ellison, Matthew Dubin, Mohamed Noor

This study compares recombination rates between two Drosophila species, finding conservation at broad scales and divergence at finer scales, with evidence of a species-wide modifier and an inter-species inversion affecting recombination.
