Phylogenetic incongruence in the Drosophila melanogaster species group.
Drosophila melanogaster and its close relatives are used extensively in comparative biology. Despite the importance of phylogenetic information for such studies, relationships between some melanogaster species group members are unclear due to conflicting phylogenetic signals at different loci. In this study, we use twelve nuclear loci (eleven coding and one non-coding) to assess the degree of p...
متن کاملPrinciples of Genome Evolution in the Drosophila melanogaster Species Group
That closely related species often differ by chromosomal inversions was discovered by Sturtevant and Plunkett in 1926. Our knowledge of how these inversions originate is still very limited, although a prevailing view is that they are facilitated by ectopic recombination events between inverted repetitive sequences. The availability of genome sequences of related species now allows us to study i...
متن کاملPhylogenetic relationships of Drosophila melanogaster species group deduced from spacer regions of histone gene H2A-H2B.
Nucleotide sequences of the spacer region of the histone gene H2A-H2B from 36 species of Drosophila melanogaster species group were determined. The phylogenetic trees were reconstructed with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods by using Drosophila pseudoobscura as the out group. Our results show that the melanogaster species group clustered in three main lineages: (1). mo...
متن کاملMolecular evolution of P transposable elements in the genus Drosophila. III. The melanogaster species group.
Phylogenetic relationships were determined for 76 partial P-element sequences from 14 species of the melanogaster species group within the Drosophila subgenus Sophophora. These results are examined in the context of the phylogeny of the species from which the sequences were isolated. Sequences from the P-element family fall into distinct subfamilies, or clades, which are often characteristic fo...
متن کاملMolecular evolution of the metallothionein gene Mtn in the melanogaster species group: results from Drosophila ananassae.
Three distinctly different alleles of the metallothionein gene Mtn have been identified in natural Drosophila melanogaster populations: Mtn.3, Mtn1, and Dp(Mtn1), where the latter designates a tandem duplication of Mtn1. In Drosophila simulans, only Mtn.3-type alleles have been found. It has been suggested that Mtn.3 is the ancestral allele and demonstrated that a presumed two-step transition f...
