Duplication is a prominent mechanism of recent gene birth in Caenorhabditis elegans
… their comparison has enabled the elucidation of gene birth mechanisms that act over a long evolutionary timescale. However, the lack of several reference-quality genomes for different individuals of the same species has hampered the study of the mechanisms of more evolutionarily young gene …

Genetic variation within the Daphnia pulex genome
<p>Genetic variation within the diploid Daphnia pulex genome was examined using a high quality de novo assembly and shotgun reads from two distinct D. pulex clones. Patterns of variation and divergence at single nucleotides were examined in physical and functional regions of the genome using …

Function and evolution of seminal fluid components in Drosophila
… with lineage-specific gains, losses, and gene duplications shaping the complement of reproductive fluids. Despite this rapid turnover, conservation of functional classes is frequently seen, suggesting evolutionary constraint on fundamental reproductive processes. One such functional class …

On the Origins of Genetic Novelty in Drosophila
… which variants survive and even thrive across generations, and why? Behind this lies the fundamental question of the origins of novelty, for there cannot be variation without a source of new variants. Understanding how novelty emerges, then, is a crucial problem of basic relevance in …
