Community coalescence reveals strong selection and coexistence within species in complex microbial communities Open
Complex microbial ecosystems harbor extensive intra-species diversity, but the fitness consequences of this genetic variation are poorly understood in community settings. Here we address this question by competing in vitro gut communities …

Manual validation finds only ultra-long long-read sequencing enables faithful, population-level structural variant calling in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> euchromatin Open
The increasing accessibility of long-read sequencing and the rapid development of automated variant callers are promoting the generation of population-level structural variation data. However, the effect of the length of long-reads on auto…

Double trouble: two retrotransposons triggered a cascade of invasions in Drosophila species within the last 50 years Open
Horizontal transfer of genetic material in eukaryotes has rarely been documented over short evolutionary timescales. Here, we show that two retrotransposons, Shellder and Spoink , invaded the genomes of multiple species of the melanogaster…

DNA extraction and Nanopore library prep for ultralong-reads v1 Open
This protocol is optimized for rapid and cost-effective (about $150) genome assembly of Drosophila species from laboratory lines using ONT PromethION sequencers. Following this protocol, a typical Drosophila Nanopore sequencing run should …

Single-fly genome assemblies fill major phylogenomic gaps across the Drosophilidae Tree of Life Open
Long-read sequencing is driving rapid progress in genome assembly across all major groups of life, including species of the family Drosophilidae, a longtime model system for genetics, genomics, and evolution. We previously developed a cost…

Complex structural variation and behavioral interactions underpin a balanced sexual mimicry polymorphism Open
Summary How phenotypic diversity originates and persists within populations are classic puzzles in evolutionary biology. While polymorphisms hypothesized to be under balancing selection segregate within many species, it remains rare for th…

Microstructures of Ant Chemosensory Sensilla Support a Dual Function in Detecting Both Volatile and Contact-Mediated Cues Open
Ants and other eusocial insects emit and receive chemical signals to communicate important information within the colony. In ants, nestmate recognition, task allocation, and reproductive distribution of labor are largely mediated through t…
