Drosophila virilis has long and highly polymorphic microsatellites.
Comparative genomics is a powerful approach to inference of the dynamics of genome evolution. Most information about the evolution of microsatellites in the genus Drosophila has been obtained from Drosophila melanogaster. For comparison, we collected microsatellite data for the distantly related species Drosophila virilis. Screening about 0.5 Mb of nonredundant genomic sequence from GenBank, we...
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...
متن کاملThe extra sex bombs protein is highly conserved between Drosophila virilis and Drosophila melanogaster
Extra sex combs (esc) is one of the Polycomb Group genes, whose products are required for long term maintenance of the spatially restricted domains of homeotic gene expression initially established by the products of the segmentation genes. We recently showed that the esc protein contains five copies of the WD motif, which in other proteins has been directly implicated in protein-protein intera...
متن کاملHigh density of long dinucleotide microsatellites in Drosophila subobscura.
We isolated 96 dinucleotide repeats with five or more tandemly repeated units from a subgenomic Drosophila subobscura library. The mean repeat unit length of microsatellite clones in D. subobscura is 15, higher than that observed in other Drosophila species. Population variation was assayed in 32-40 chromosomes from Barcelona, Spain, using 18 randomly chosen microsatellite loci. Positive correl...
متن کاملCross-amplified polymorphic microsatellites for Campbell's monkey.
Population genetic analyses are of considerable importance for conservation strategies to protect endangered primates. We tested microsatellites of human origin with an aim to understand the genetic diversity of a West African forest guenon, Campbell's monkey, Cercopithecus campbelli. Twelve markers amplified successfully, were polymorphic and were inherited in a Mendelian fashion in a group of...
