This study examines a chromosomal inversion in Drosophila montana, finding it enriched with adaptive and barrier loci, suggesting inversions help maintain adaptive allelic combinations and reduce gene flow.

The paper uses DEST 2.0 to analyze genetic variation in D. melanogaster across continents and time, identifying adaptation patterns and stable spatial genetic structures.

This study identifies temperature as an evolutionarily conserved regulator of O-GlcNAcylation, showing that hypothermia reduces O-GlcNAc levels across species.

The paper identifies new transposable element consensus sequences in Drosophila montana and links them to cold tolerance and genomic structural variation.

The paper develops a bioinformatics pipeline to integrate Drosophila melanogaster genomic data from diverse sources, creating a large dataset called DEST for population genetics analysis.

The paper examines genomic divergence in Drosophila montana to identify cold adaptation signatures, finding 250 genes with accelerated divergence and outlier loci on the X chromosome.
