  • In Drosophila more than 95% of the genes have remained on the same chromosome arm in 12 species that diverged 63 Myr ago.

    This study finds that only a quarter of D. melanogaster Y linked genes are also Y-linked in these 12 species. Gene losses are known to play a major role in the evolution of Y chromosomes, but this study shows that in contrast with the mammalian Y, gene gains play an important role in the evolution of the Drosophila Y chromosome.

  • An international consortium reports the genomic sequence for ten Drosophila species, and compares them to two other previously published Drosophila species. These data are invaluable for drawing evolutionary conclusions across an entire phylogeny of species at once.
