Generic sample from Drosophila albomicans
Drosophila albomicans
We sequenced male Drosophila albomicans individuals of a isofemale strain, which has been collected from the wild and cultivated in the lab for 15 generations. This species is a model organism for studying sex chromosome and B chromosome evolution. The males we sequenced have B chromosomes. We also sequenced female individuals without B chromosomes inbred from the males' offsprings to assign B or Y-specific sequences. The resulting assembly uses sequence reads from both sexes.
