Regional specialization, polyploidy, and seminal fluid transcripts in the Drosophila female reproductive tract

R. C. Thayer, E. S. Polston, J. Xu, D. J. Begun

The paper uses single-cell RNA-seq and in situ hybridization to discover new cell diversity and ploidy variation in the Drosophila female reproductive tract, revealing that seminal fluid protein genes are transcribed in specialized cells.

Identifying candidate de novo genes expressed in the somatic female reproductive tract of Drosophila melanogaster

K. D. Lombardo, H. K. Sheehy, J. M. Cridland, D. J. Begun

The paper identifies candidate de novo genes in the female reproductive tract of D. melanogaster by comparing transcriptomes across three species.

Evolution and genetics of accessory gland transcriptome divergence between Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans

A. C. Majane, J. M. Cridland, D. J. Begun

This study examines regulatory divergence and hybrid misexpression in the accessory gland of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans hybrids, finding more trans differences than cis and elevated divergence in seminal fluid protein genes.
