Chromosomal evolution and comparative gene mapping in the Drosophila repleta species group (1997)
Ruiz,Alfredo, Ranz,José María, Cáceres,Mario, Segarra,Carmen
A review of our recent work on the cromosomal evolution of the Drosophila repleta species group is presented. Most studies have focused on the buzzatii species complex, a monophyletic set of 12...
Elevated gene expression levels distinguish human from non-human primate brains
Cáceres, Mario, Lachuer, Joel, Zapala, Matthew A., Redmond, John C., Kudo, Lili, Geschwind, Daniel H., ...
Little is known about how the human brain differs from that of our closest relatives. To investigate the genetic basis of human specializations in brain organization and cognition, we compared gene...
Cáceres, Mario, Puig, Marta, Ruiz, Alfredo
Transposable elements (TEs) have been implicated in the generation of genetic rearrangements, but their potential to mediate changes in the organization and architecture of host genomes could be even...
Puig, Marta, Cáceres, Mario, Ruiz, Alfredo
Adaptive changes in nature occur by a variety of mechanisms, and Drosophila chromosomal inversions was one of the first studied examples. However, the precise genetic causes of the adaptive value of...
