Evolution of a fatty acyl-CoA elongase underlies desert adaptation in Drosophila

Z. Wang, J. Pu, C. Richards, E. Giannetti, H. Cong, Z. Lin, H. Chung

This study identifies a fatty acyl-CoA elongase gene, mElo, as crucial for desiccation resistance in Drosophila mojavensis through evolutionary changes enabling the synthesis of long-chain methylbranched cuticular hydrocarbons.

Desiccation resistance differences in Drosophila species can be largely explained by variations in cuticular hydrocarbons

Z. Wang, J. P. Receveur, J. Pu, H. Cong, C. Richards, M. Liang, H. Chung

This study shows that variations in cuticular hydrocarbons, particularly methyl-branched CHCs, largely explain desiccation resistance differences among Drosophila species.

Repression precedes the stepwise evolution of a highly specific gene expression pattern

J. Pu, Z. Wang, H. Cong, J. S. R. Chin, J. Justen, J. Y. Yew, H. Chung

The paper traces the evolutionary origin of an enhancer that drives specific gene expression in Drosophila, showing that repressor sequences evolved before activator regions.

The Evolution of Insect Metallothioneins

M. Luo, C. Finet, H. Cong, H.-y. Wei, H. Chung

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of insect metallothioneins by developing a BLAST pipeline and analyzing phylogenetics and synteny, revealing lineage-specific duplications and a previously unknown MT variant.
