Puig M, Lerga-Jaso J, Giner-Delgado C, Pacheco S, Izquierdo D, Delprat A, et al.
Genome Res . 2020 May; 30(5):724-735. PMID: 32424072
Despite the interest in characterizing genomic variation, the presence of large repeats at the breakpoints hinders the analysis of many structural variants. This is especially problematic for inversions, since there...

Giner-Delgado C, Villatoro S, Lerga-Jaso J, Gaya-Vidal M, Oliva M, Castellano D, et al.
Nat Commun . 2019 Sep; 10(1):4222. PMID: 31530810
Inversions are one type of structural variants linked to phenotypic differences and adaptation in multiple organisms. However, there is still very little information about polymorphic inversions in the human genome...

Delprat A, Guillen Y, Ruiz A
J Hered . 2018 Nov; 110(1):102-117. PMID: 30407542
We investigated rates of chromosomal evolution in Drosophila mojavensis using whole-genome sequence information from D. mojavensis, Drosophila buzzatii, and Drosophila virilis. Drosophila mojavensis is a cactophilic species of the repleta...

Rius N, Guillen Y, Delprat A, Kapusta A, Feschotte C, Ruiz A
BMC Genomics . 2016 May; 17:344. PMID: 27164953
Background: Many new Drosophila genomes have been sequenced in recent years using new-generation sequencing platforms and assembly methods. Transposable elements (TEs), being repetitive sequences, are often misassembled, especially in the...

Garcia C, Delprat A, Ruiz A, Valente V
G3 (Bethesda) . 2015 Oct; 5(12):2559-66. PMID: 26438290
Drosophila willistoni is a geographically widespread Neotropical species. The genome of strain Gd-H4-1 from Guadeloupe Island (Caribbean) was sequenced in 2007 as part of the 12 Drosophila Genomes Project. The...

Guillen Y, Rius N, Delprat A, Williford A, Muyas F, Puig M, et al.
Genome Biol Evol . 2015 Jan; 7(1):349-66. PMID: 25552534
Cactophilic Drosophila species provide a valuable model to study gene-environment interactions and ecological adaptation. Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila mojavensis are two cactophilic species that belong to the repleta group, but...

Goncalves J, Valiati V, Delprat A, Valente V, Ruiz A
BMC Genomics . 2014 Sep; 15:792. PMID: 25218200
Background: Galileo is one of three members of the P superfamily of DNA transposons. It was originally discovered in Drosophila buzzatii, in which three segregating chromosomal inversions were shown to...

Dias G, Svartman M, Delprat A, Ruiz A, Kuhn G
Genome Biol Evol . 2014 May; 6(6):1302-13. PMID: 24858539
Transposable elements (TEs) and satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are abundant components of most eukaryotic genomes studied so far and their impact on evolution has been the focus of several studies. A...

Rius N, Delprat A, Ruiz A
Genome Biol Evol . 2013 May; 5(6):1127-41. PMID: 23682154
The transposon BuT5 caused two chromosomal inversions fixed in two Drosophila species of the repleta group, D. mojavensis and D. uniseta. BuT5 copies are approximately 1-kb long, lack any coding...

Prada C, Delprat A, Ruiz A
Chromosome Res . 2011 Mar; 19(2):251-65. PMID: 21394512
The chromosomal relationships of the four martensis cluster species are among the most complex and intricate within the entire Drosophila repleta group, due to the so-called sharing of inversions. Here,...
