A microsatellite-based multilocus phylogeny of the Drosophila melanogaster species complex
Uncovering the genealogy of closely related species remains a major challenge for phylogenetic reconstruction. It is unlikely that the phylogeny of a single gene will represent the phylogeny of a species as a whole [1], but DNA sequence data across a large number of loci can be combined in order to obtain a consensus tree [2]. Long sequences are needed, however, to minimize the effect of (infre...
متن کاملPhylogeny of the Oriental Drosophila melanogaster species group: a multilocus reconstruction.
The melanogaster species group of Drosophila (subgenus Sophophora) has long been a favored model for evolutionary studies because of its morphological and ecological diversity and wide geographic distribution. However, phylogenetic relationships among species and subgroups within this lineage are not well understood. We reconstructed the phylogeny of 17 species representing 7 "oriental" species...
متن کاملMolecular Phylogeny of the Drosophila virilis Species Group (Diptera: Drosophilidae) Inferred from Mitochondrial 12S and 16S Ribosomal RNA Genes
The phylogenetic relationships among all members of theDrosophila virilis Sturtevant species group were inferred from mitochondrial DNA [partial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and partial 12S rRNA] sequence data. These data show support for four lineages within the D. virilis species group, which are consistent with previous phylogenetic work performed on the group. However, the...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny and genome evolution in the Drosophila virilis species group: duplications of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene.
Drosophila virilis is a prominent reference species for comparison with Drosophila melanogaster in regard to patterns and mechanisms of molecular and genomic evolution. Sequences were determined for 11 Adh genes from 8 species of the D. virilis species group, including species from both the virilis phylad and the montana subphylad. The genome of D. virilis contains a 6-kb duplication that inclu...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the Chromosomes of the Two Sub-Species Drosophila Virilis Virilis and Drosophila Virilis Americana.
NCREASING attention is being focused on the use of Drosophila as a I convenient organism for investigating such fundamental problems as the formation of new species and interspecific sterility. Studies of the hybrid from the cross D. melarzogasterXD. simulans by PATAU (I935), and by HORTON (1939), and D. pseudoobscuraXD. miranda by DOBZHANSKY and TAN (1936), as well as studies of the hybrids fr...
