Benjamin K McCormick, Daniel A. Barbash
This paper introduces a method to detect meiotic drivers in D. melanogaster by analyzing embryonic marker transmission.
Samuel Marston, Cadyn Mathis, Tamara Starling…·Dean M. Castillo
The paper investigates how male courtship plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster depends on female behavioral cues rather than pheromones, using a Zimbabwe genotype with disrupted pheromone production.
Tianzhu Xiong, Daniel A. Barbash
The paper identifies transposon-derived large tandem repeats in holocentric chromosomes of Papilio bianor and shows their role in chromosome structure and recombination.
Benjamin K. McCormick, Daniel A. Barbash, Andrew G. Clark
The paper demonstrates that the Stellate meiotic drive system is active in contemporary Drosophila melanogaster populations by showing non-Mendelian sex chromosome transmission.
Iskander Said, Daniel A. Barbash, Andrew G. Clark
The paper quantifies simple satellite variation in 2,504 human genomes, identifies new tandem repeats, and links centromeric ancestry to satellite abundance.
Daniel A. Barbash, Bozhou Jin, Kevin H.-C. Wei, Anne‐Marie Dion‐Côté
The paper tests a candidate meiotic drive locus in Drosophila melanogaster using individual progeny genotyping, finding a small deviation from Mendelian segregation opposite to initial pool sequencing results.
Iskander Said, Michael P. McGurk, Andrew G. Clark, Daniel A. Barbash
The paper investigates piRNA regulation in Drosophila by analyzing transposable element clade evolution and finds that younger clades are associated with higher antisense piRNA abundance.
Daniel Zinshteyn, Daniel A. Barbash
The paper investigates the role of Stonewall in Drosophila germline stem cells, showing it prevents testis-enriched gene expression and binds to insulator elements.
Michael P. McGurk, Anne‐Marie Dion‐Côté, Daniel A. Barbash
The paper analyzes HTT transposable element dynamics in Drosophila telomeres, finding that their variation is driven by telomere instability rather than genetic conflict.
Michael P. McGurk, Daniel A. Barbash
The paper identifies tandem transposable element dimers in Drosophila genomes and shows they can serve as precursors for satellite DNA formation.

This paper shows Hmr and Lhr are needed for sister chromatid detachment during anaphase, not centromere function, in Drosophila melanogaster.
Kevin H.-C. Wei, Hemakumar M. Reddy, Chandramouli Rathnam…·Daniel A. Barbash
The paper develops a pooled sequencing method to detect meiotic drivers in Drosophila and identifies a candidate driver in a centromere-linked region with an 8% increased transmission frequency.
