Widespread occurrence of XXY females in Drosophila mojavensis and related species

The paper shows that XXY females are common in Drosophila mojavensis and related species, with high frequencies in lab strains and natural populations, and explains their prevalence through meiotic drive.

Deciphering chromosome fusion in D. miranda's neo-sex chromosome through single-copy and repetitive oligo probes

This study designs and validates oligo probe libraries for Drosophila miranda's neo-sex chromosomes, enabling comprehensive chromosome painting and revealing evolutionary mechanisms of the Y chromosome.

Meiotic Sex Chromosome Inactivation: conservation across the Drosophila genus

The paper investigates the evolutionary conservation of Meiotic Sex Chromosome Inactivation (MSCI) across Drosophila species by analyzing transcriptomes during spermatogenesis, revealing its role in regulating gene expression patterns.

OligoY pipeline for full Y chromosome painting

OligoY pipeline designs FISH Oligopaint probes for the Y chromosome, improving staining efficiency and reducing off-target signals in Drosophila melanogaster.
