Absence of cytoplasmic incompatibility and high vertical Wolbachia transmission in a neotropical drosophilid Abstract. Intracellular endosymbionts such as Wolbachia are generally thought to persist in host populations by inducing reproductive phenotypes that enhan

📢 NEW GENOME ALERT

In #G3journal, Erickson et al. present a chromosome-level genome assembly of the African Fig Fly, a recently introduced #drosophilid in North America, to better understand how this organism evolved in changing environments. buff.ly/S0ZlmeW

Single-nucleus transcriptomic atlases of D. melanogaster, D. simulans, and D. sechellia central brains. Top left: phylogeny of the drosophilid species studied in this work, and images of reference central brains for these species (all female). Top right: Workflow of the single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of drosophilid central brains. Bottom left: tSNE plots of D. melanogaster (red), D. simulans (green) and D. sechellia (blue) central brain cells from an integrated dataset after RPCA integration. In the bottom right plot, all cells from the three species are merged. Bottom right: tSNE plot of the integrated and annotated datasets. Cells are colored by the 11 annotation groups. Unannotated cells are colored gray.
