Drosophila miranda The fruit fly Drosophila miranda is a member of the obscura group of the subgenus Sophophora Lineage: Eukaryota[15558]; Metazoa[7784]; Ecdysozoa[3516]; Arthropoda[3302]; Hexapoda[2974]; Insecta[2840]; Pterygota[2838]; Neoptera[2819]; Endopterygota[2629]; Diptera[678]; Brachycera[564]; Muscomorpha[552]; Ephydroidea[334]; Drosophilidae[331]; Drosophila[254]; Sophophora[111]; obscura group[16]; pseudoobscura subgroup[4]; Drosophila miranda[1]

The fruit fly Drosophila miranda is a member of the obscura group of the subgenus Sophophora and one of 20 fruit fly species slated for BAC library construction with a goal toward comparative genomics studies. Twelve Drosophila species are undergoing or have completed whole genome shotgun sequencing and, with the addition of BAC More...resources, the ability to compare gene function and annotation across the genus will be expanded. With previous information on the phylogenetic relationship amongst these fruit fly species and the genomic sequence generated, a resource will be created that will provide reagents for studies in molecular evolution and comparative genomics.
