Different λ20p1.4 nlDNA localization on chromosome arm 3R in Drosophila species of the melanogaster complex: (a) D. simulans (Laboratory), (b) D. sechellia, (c) D. mauritiana. Labeled regions are indicated by arrows. Scale bar: 10 µm.

Chromosome localization of sequences homologous to 20p1.4 of the Drosophila melanogaster nuclear lamina DNA (nlDNA) was established by in situ hybridization in species of the melanogastersubgroup. DNA of the 20p1.4 clone was shown to be located in the chromocenter in all the species examined. Laboratory strains of D. simulans, D. mauritiana, andD....

Chromatin states of genes and transposable elements (TEs) dictated by combinations of various histone modifications comprise key information for understanding the mechanisms of genome organization and regulation. However, little is known about the principles of their dynamic changes during development and evolution in a three-dimensional genome con...
Mutations that add, subtract, rearrange, or otherwise refashion genome structure often affect phenotypes, though the fragmented nature of most contemporary assemblies obscure them. To discover such mutations, we assembled the first reference quality genome of Drosophila melanogaster since its initial sequencing. By comparing this genome to the exis...
Determining mechanisms that underlie reproductive isolation is key to understanding how species boundaries are maintained in nature. Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous across eukaryotic genomes. However, the role of TEs in modulating the strength of reproductive isolation between species is poorly understood. Several species of Drosophila h...
complex genomic ecosystem, proving to be both adaptive and deleterious - repressed by the piRNA system and fixed by selection. Transposable element insertion also appears to be bursty, either due to invasion of new transposable elements that are not yet repressed, de-repression due to instability of organismal defense systems, stress, or genetic va...
Transposable elements (TEs) are middle repetitive DNA sequences classified into families according to their se-quence similarities, such elements can playing an important role in the evolutionary process of their host genomes. There are many reports on the distribution of TEs in the fruit fly genus Drosophila, although there is relatively little in...
