An analysis of DNA of fruit flies by researchers from Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech has shed new light on the genetic differences between flies that grow up in close, but extremely different, ecologies. One reason lies in a startling abundance of repetitive DNA elements that, until recently, were considered little more than unused letters in a word game. The explanation will be published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...Tuesday 8 July 2014
Study Sheds New Light on Evolutionary Changes Between Closely Related Species Living in Different Ecologies
An analysis of DNA of fruit flies by researchers from Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech has shed new light on the genetic differences between flies that grow up in close, but extremely different, ecologies. One reason lies in a startling abundance of repetitive DNA elements that, until recently, were considered little more than unused letters in a word game.
