Simple Summary Due to the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies,
computational genome annotation of sequences has become one of the principal research …

Behaviors associated with reproduction are major contributors to the evolutionary success of
organisms and are subject to many evolutionary forces, including natural and sexual …

Given their copy number differences and unique modes of inheritance, the evolved gene
content and expression of sex chromosomes is unusual. In many organisms the X and Y …

The formation of new genes during evolution is an important motor of functional innovation,
but the rate at which new genes originate and the likelihood that they persist over longer …

Topologically associating domains (TADs) were recently identified as fundamental units of
three-dimensional eukaryotic genomic organization, although our knowledge of the …

Transcriptomes are dynamic, with cells, tissues, and body parts expressing particular sets of
transcripts. Transposable elements (TEs) are a known source of transcriptome diversity; …

The ability to respond to chemosensory cues is critical for survival of most organisms.
Among insects, Drosophila melanogaster has the best characterized olfactory system, and …

Reproductive traits that influence female remating and competitive fertilization rapidly evolve
in response to sexual selection and sexual conflict. One such trait, observed across diverse …

Genes with sex-biased expression in Drosophila are thought to underlie sexually dimorphic
phenotypes and have been shown to possess unique evolutionary properties. However, the …

The volume of ribonucleic acid (RNA)-seq data has increased exponentially, providing
numerous new insights into various biological processes. However, due to significant …
