Evolution of gene-rich germline restricted chromosomes in black-winged fungus gnats through introgression (Diptera: Sciaridae)

2021-02-09

Abstract excerpt

Germline restricted DNA has evolved in diverse animal taxa, and is found in several vertebrate clades, nematodes, and flies. In these lineages, either portions of chromosomes or entire chromosomes are eliminated from somatic cells early in development, restricting portions of the genome to the germline. Little is known about why germline restricted DNA has evolved, especially in flies, in which three diverse famil...
