Epistasis among Drosophila persimilis Factors Conferring Hybrid Male Sterility with D-pseudoobscura bogotana

Chang, Audrey S.; Bennett, Sarah; Noor, Mohamed (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2010)

The Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller model posits that hybrid incompatibilities result from genetic changes that accumulate during population divergence. Indeed, much effort in recent years has been devoted to identifying genes ...
Gene Expression Disruptions of Organism versus Organ in Drosophila Species Hybrids

Catron, Daniel J.; Noor, Mohamed (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2008)

Hybrid dysfunctions, such as sterility, may result in part from disruptions in the regulation of gene expression. Studies of hybrids within the Drosophila simulans clade have reported genes expressed above or below the ...
Slip-Sliding Away: Serial Changes and Homoplasy in Repeat Number in the Drosophila yakuba Homolog of Human Cancer Susceptibility Gene BRCA2

Bennett, Sarah; Mercer, John; Noor, Mohamed (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2010)

Several recent studies have examined the function and evolution of a Drosophila homolog to the human breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2, named dmbrca2. We previously identified what appeared to be a recent expansion ...
