Rapid evolution of promoters from germline-specifically expressed genes including transposon silencing factors

D. W. J. McQuarrie, A. Alizada, B. Czech Nicholson, M. Soller

The paper shows that promoters of germline-specific piRNA factors evolve rapidly in Drosophila and other insects, potentially driving gene expression divergence.

Indel driven rapid evolution of core nuclear pore protein gene promoters

D. W. J. McQuarrie, A. M. Read, F. H. S. Stephens…·M. Soller

The paper identifies rapid indel accumulation in core nuclear pore protein gene promoters across Drosophila species, suggesting a role in speciation through regulatory changes.
