Abstract:
We have isolated, characterized and mapped 33 dinucleotide, three trinucleotide and one tetranucleotide repeat loci from the four major chromosomes of Drosophila pseudoobscura. Average inferred repeat unit length of the dinucleotide repeats is 12 repeat units, similar to D. melanogaster. Assays of D. pseudoobscura and populations of its sibling species, D. persimilis, using 10 of these loci show extremely high levels of variation compared with similar studies of dinucleotide repeat variation in D. melanogaster populations. The high levels of variation are consistent with an average mutation ra

Abstract:
Genetic variation in susceptibility to pathogens is a central concern both to evolutionary and medical biologists, and for the implementation of biological control programmes. We have investigated the extent of such variation in Drosophila melanogaster, a major model organism for immunological research. We found that within populations, different Drosophila genotypes show wide-ranging variation in their ability to survive infection with the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. Furthermore, striking divergence in susceptibility has occurred between genotypes from temperate and tropical A

Within the melanogaster complex the Bari-1 elements are extremely similar to each other, showing nucleotide identity

Abstract:
Four-cutter restriction enzyme analysis, a recently developed electroblotting technique, enables the survey of restriction site and insertion–deletion polymorphism in natural populations at a fine level of resolution. Using this technique, the distribution of polymorphism among geographically isolated populations of Drosophila melanogaster and in different structural–functional domains of the genome has been studied. A summary of these results is presented and discussed. Recent investigations of molecular variation within and between different chromosome arrangements in Drosophila are presente

Abstract:
SummaryHighly variable DNA polymorphisms called microsatellites are rapidly becoming the marker of choice in population genetic studies. Until now, microsatellites have not been utilized for Drosophila studies. We have identified eight polymorphic microsatellite loci in Drosophila melanogaster and used them to characterize the genetic variation in a wild population from the Tyrrell's winery in Australia. Microsatellites were isolated from a partial genomic DNA library. All microsatellites consist of (AC)n repeats ranging from n = 2 to n = 24. Six loci were assigned to chromosomal location by g

Abstract A 40-kb region around the rosy and snake loci was analyzed for restriction map variation among 60 lines of Drosophila melanogaster and 30 lines of Drosophila simulans collected together at a single locality in Raleigh, North Carolina. DNA sequence variation in D. simulans was estimated to be 6.3 times greater than in D. melanogaster (heterozygosities per nucleotide of 1.9% vs. 0.3%). This result stands in marked contrast to results of studies of phenotypic variation including proteins (allozymes), morphology and chromosome arrangements which are generally less variable and less geogra

Abstract:
The compound eyes of insects exhibit striking variation in size, reflecting adaptation to different lifestyles and habitats. However, the genetic and developmental bases of variation in insect eye size is poorly understood, which limits our understanding of how these important morphological differences evolve. To address this, we further explored natural variation in eye size within and between four species of the Drosophila melanogaster species subgroup. We found extensive variation in eye size among these species, and flies with larger eyes generally had a shorter inter-ocular distance and v

ABSTRACT The natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans were compared for their genetic structure. A total of 114 gene-protein loci were studied in four mainland (from Europe and Africa) and an island (Seychelle) populations of D. simulans and the results were compared with those obtained on the same set of homologous loci in fifteen worldwide populations of D. melanogaster. The main results are as follows: (1) D. melanogaster shows a significantly higher proportion of loci polymorphic than D. simulans (52% vs. 39%, P < 0.05), (2) both species have similar me

Abstract:
The study of natural variation is a principle component of biology. One process that affects levels of natural variation is meiotic recombination—the process by which homologous chromosomes break and interchange genetic information with one another during the formation of gametes. Surprisingly, this factor that shapes levels of natural variation across the genome itself presents with a great deal of variation. That variation manifests itself at many levels: within genomes, between individual organisms, across populations, and among species. The factors and mechanisms responsible for the non-ra

Abstract:
Whilst it is commonly accepted that transposable elements can generate genetic variation, the significance of this for the maintenance and dissemination of such elements is controversial. Here long-term laboratory populations of Drosophila melanogaster, maintained at two discrete temperatures, are screened by Southern blotting for the patterns of insertion of several transposable elements (copia, mdg-2, mdg-4 and P). Consistent with a temperature-specific adaptive role for some insertions, several are apparently found at higher frequency in lines at one temperature. Further characterisation of

In some systems there is evidence that the ability to self assess allows inbred females to vary their reproductive behavior to increase promiscuity. I predicted that this may be true in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> females, but we found that inbred females behaved less promiscuously in three proxies than outbred females. Inbred females mated with fewer total males, fewer different males, and had longer copulation latency than their outbred conspecifics. However, ma

Solar ultraviolet radiation has been a major environmental factor throughout the evolution of life. Nature has evolved a plethora of defence mechanisms against this biologically harmful agent, and the genes underlying these mechanisms (e.g. DNA repair) have been the direct target of natural selection. The main aim of this study was to assess the level of genetic diversity in Drosophila, and phenotypic variation in Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) sensitivity amongst a naturally-derived panel of fly strains (DGRP), and to evaluate the extent of genetic variation underlying this trait.

Abstract:
Chromosomal structure variations (SV) including insertions, deletions, inversions, and translocations occur within the genome and can have a significant effect on organismalphenotype. Some of these effects are caused by structural variations containing genes. Modern sequencing using short reads makes the detection of large structural variations (> 1kb) very difficult. Large structural variations represent a significant amount of the genetic diversity within a population.

Abstract:
Under most conditions, meiotic recombination is essential for ensuring that organisms adapt to ever changing biotic and abiotic conditions and, as such, it shapes evolutionary change within and between species. The interplay between selection and recombination plays a role shaping levels diversity within populations. Remarkably, recombination is itself an evolving trait that varies at many levels: between distant species of eukaryotes, between closely related species and among populations (and individuals) of the same species. Recombination rates also vary across genomes. Most of the causes an
