The paper studies tRNA gene evolution in Drosophila, finding rapid duplication and loss, sexual dimorphism in expression, and implications for regulatory diversity.

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

This study examines the rapid structural evolution of de novo genes in rice over 1 million years, finding faster changes in disordered regions and structured elements compared to gene duplicates.

The paper analyzes new genes in Drosophila to show that recently evolved genes can quickly become essential for development.

This study investigates the evolutionary dynamics of 7 bp satellites in Drosophila virilis, identifying platform-specific sequencing biases and showing how satellite composition changes over time and space.
