Rapid promoter evolution of male accessory gland genes is accompanied by divergent expression in closely related Drosophila species

David W. J. McQuarrie, Frannie H. S. Stephens, Alexander D Ferguson…·Matthias Soller

The paper investigates rapid promoter evolution and expression divergence of male accessory gland genes in closely related Drosophila species, showing cis-regulatory changes drive expression differences.

Gene age shapes functional and evolutionary properties of the Drosophila seminal fluid proteome

José M. Ranz, Carolina Flacchi, Imtiyaz E. Hariyani, Alberto Civetta

The paper examines the evolutionary age of Drosophila seminal fluid proteins and finds that 62% of Sfp genes are ancient, with distinct functional and evolutionary properties compared to younger ones.

Channel nuclear pore protein 54 directs sexual differentiation and neuronal wiring required for female reproductive behaviors in Drosophila

Mohanakarthik Ponnadai Nallasivan, Irmgard U. Haussmann, Alberto Civetta, Matthias Soller

This study identifies Nup54's role in Drosophila female reproductive behaviors by linking it to neuronal wiring and sexual differentiation in response to male sex-peptide.
