The conservation and expression of <i>yb</i> gene in <i>D</i>. <i>eugracilis</i>, <i>D</i>. <i>willistoni</i>, and <i>D</i>. <i>virilis</i>.

Abstract

<p><b>(A)</b> Both poly-A+ RNA-seq and 3′ mRNA-seq show no expression of the pseudogene of <i>yb</i> in <i>D</i>. <i>eugracilis</i>. The coverage of neighbouring genes is shown in counts per million reads (CPM). Single and double asterisks indicate peaks of the 3′ mRNA-seq that correspond to canonical mRNA 3′ ends and a suspected internal priming, respectively. <b>(B and C)</b> Shown are the syntenic loci of <i>yb</i> gene in <i>D</i>. <i>willistoni</i> (B) and <i>D</i>. <i>virilis</i> (C) genomes. Genes that are found near the <i>yb</i> gene both in <i>D</i>. <i>melanogaster</i> and <i>D</i>. <i>willistoni</i> or <i>D</i>. <i>virilis</i> are coloured in blue, while genes that are found near the <i>yb</i> gene only in <i>D</i>. <i>willistoni</i> or <i>D</i>. <i>virilis</i> are coloured in gray.</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
