Single-fly assemblies fill major phylogenomic gaps across the Drosophilidae Tree of Life

B. Y. Kim, H. R. Gellert, S. H. Church, A. Suvorov, S. S. Anderson, O. Barmina, S. G. Beskid, A. A. Comeault, K. N. Crown, S. E. Diamond, S. Dorus, T. Fujichika, J. A. Hemker, J. Hrcek, M. Kankare, , D. A. Petrov

The paper presents 183 new genome assemblies for 179 drosophilid species using single-fly long-read sequencing, improving phylogenomic coverage and enabling a well-resolved multi-locus phylogeny.

Orchestrated Restructuring Events During Secretory Granule Maturation Mediate Intragranular Cargo Segregation

Z. A. Syed, L. Zhang, D. T. Tran, C. K. E. Bleck, K. G. Ten Hagen

This study identifies intragranular restructuring events during secretory granule maturation that mediate cargo segregation and reveals genes and factors involved in these processes.

Evolutionary genetics of Drosophila melanogaster immunity: role of the X chromosome and sex-specific dominance

M. Geeta Arun, A. Agarwala, Jigisha, M. Kashyap, S. Venkatesan, T. S. Chechi, Z. A. Syed, V. Gupta, N. G. Prasad

The paper investigates the role of the X chromosome in immune response evolution in Drosophila melanogaster and finds sex-specific dominance patterns in immunity-related alleles.

Reproductive Isolation through Experimental Manipulation of Sexually Antagonistic Coevolution in Drosophila Melanogaster

Z. A. Syed, M. Chatterjee, M. A. Samant, N. G. Prasad

This study shows that sexual conflict in Drosophila melanogaster leads to both premating and postmating reproductive isolation in allopatric populations.
