Transposable Element Dynamics in Drosophila suzukii: Characterization and Implications for Food Consumption-Related Genes.

Drosophila suzukii, a species native to southeast Asia, is a major pest of berry and stone fruit crops. This species has invaded Europe and the Americas in just a few decades, becoming a global concern to agriculture. In contrast to other flies, D. suzukii infests ripening fruits, causing substantial economic losses wo...

Ancient whole genomes reveal regional selection during adaptation to Neolithic lifestyle in Western Eurasia

The introduction of agriculture in Western Eurasia during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition reshaped human lifestyle, demography and pathogen exposure. Yet, the associated selective pressures remain incompletely resolved because previous ancient DNA studies relied on targeted SNP panels and yielded non-overlapping re...
