The paper presents high-quality genome assemblies of three Drosophila virilis sub-group species, revealing repetitive DNA dynamics and structural rearrangements driving genome divergence.

smalldisco identifies and annotates small interfering RNAs and quantifies 3' tail sequences from small RNA-seq data.

The paper creates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly, identifying over 250 cell types and analyzing gene signatures and sexual dimorphism across tissues.

This study shows that the microbiome interacts with mating to alter gene expression in Drosophila females, affecting fecundity and immune responses.

The paper shows that meiotic drive in Drosophila americana favors the segregation of derived metacentric chromosomes over their unfused homologs.

The paper catalogs sperm and seminal fluid proteins in Aedes aegypti using mass spectrometry and transcriptomics, identifying 870 sperm proteins and 280 seminal fluid proteins, with enrichment on chromosome 1.
