Diverse <i>w</i> Mel variants of <i>Wolbachia pipientis</i> differentially rescue fertility and cytological defects of the <i>bag of marbles</i> partial loss of function mutation in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila melanogaster, the maternally inherited endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis interacts with germline stem cell genes during oogenesis. One such gene, bag of marbles ( bam ) is the key switch for differentiation and also shows signals of adaptive evolution for protein diversification. These observations have led us to hypothesize that W. pipientis could be driving the adaptive evolution of bam for co...
