Maintenance of quantitative genetic variance in complex, multi-trait phenotypes: The contribution of rare, large effect variants in two Drosophila species

The paper uses Bayesian Sparse Factor Genetic modelling to analyze gene expression traits in two Drosophila species, finding that most heritable trait covariation is due to a few extreme genotypes, suggesting the House of Cards model applies to co-expression phenotypes.

Direct and indirect impacts of positive selection on genomic variation in Drosophila serrata

This study uses deep learning to analyze genomic data from Drosophila serrata and finds that soft sweeps are more common than hard sweeps, with indirect effects on a larger portion of the genome.

A Genomic Reference Panel for Drosophila serrata

The paper describes a genomic reference panel of Drosophila serrata inbred lines, revealing high nucleotide diversity and genetic markers associated with cuticular hydrocarbon traits.

Single-molecule sequencing of the Drosophila serrata genome

The paper de novo assembles the Drosophila serrata genome using long-read sequencing and self-correction algorithms, achieving high contiguity and providing initial gene annotations.
