In eukaryotes, unlike in bacteria, gene order has typically been assumed to be random.
However, the first statistically rigorous analyses of complete genomes, together with the …

The sequencing and annotation of the Drosophila melanogaster genome, first published in
2000 through collaboration between Celera Genomics and the Drosophila Genome …

The sequencing of the 12 genomes of members of the genus Drosophila was taken as an
opportunity to reevaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid …

The availability of 12 complete genomes of various species of genus Drosophila provides a
unique opportunity to analyze genome-scale chromosomal rearrangements among a group …

That closely related species often differ by chromosomal inversions was discovered by
Sturtevant and Plunkett in 1926. Our knowledge of how these inversions originate is still very …

The development of genetic maps multiple species of Drosophila to understand the basis for
species formation became problematic because visible mutations were not easily compared …

Background Scarabaeinae beetles show a high level of macro-chromosomal variability,
although the karyotypic organization of heterochromatin and multigene families (rDNAs and …

We analyse chromosome location of H3 and H4 histone gene clusters by fluorescence in-
situ hybridization (FISH) in 35 species of Acrididae grasshoppers belonging to seven …

During evolution, gene repatterning across eukaryotic genomes is not uniform. Some
genomic regions exhibit a gene organization conserved phylogenetically, while others are …

During evolution, genome reorganization includes large-scale events such as inversions,
translocations, and segmental or even whole-genome duplications, as well as fine-scale …
