Paucity of chimeric gene-transposable element transcripts in the Drosophila melanogaster genome

Mikhail Lipatov, Kapa Lenkov, Dmitri A Petrov, Casey M Bergman BMC Biology 2005, 3:24 (12 November 2005)

Less than 1% of Drosophila transcripts contain 'chimeric' transposable elements, whereas a large proportion of mammalian genomes are known to be derived from TEs; population genetics implies that most fly gene-TE chimeras are deleterious, but a few may contribute to novel gene sequences.

Impressive expressions: developing a systematic database of gene-expression patterns in Drosophila embryogenesis

Haiqiong Montalta-He, Heinrich Reichert Genome Biology 2003, 4:205 (28 January 2003)

The establishment of a database of gene-expression patterns derived from systematic highthroughput in situ hybridization studies on whole-mount Drosophila embryos vastly increases the breadth and depth that can be reached by developmental genetics.

Heterochromatic sequences in a Drosophila whole-genome shotgun assembly

Annotation of an improved whole-genome shotgun assembly of the Drosophila melanogaster genome predicted 297 protein-coding genes and six non-protein-coding genes, including known heterochromatic genes, and regions of similarity to known transposable elements. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to correlate the genomic sequence with the cytogenetic map; the annotated euchromatic sequence extends into the centric heterochromatin on each chromosome arm.
