Single-fly genome assemblies fill major phylogenomic gaps across the Drosophilidae Tree of Life


Previous genome assemblies of Drosophilidae were restricted to species bred in laboratories, limiting our understanding of this model organism. The authors performed amplification-free nanopore sequencing of single wild flies, to expand the taxonomic diversity of Drosophilidae genomes. Despite the small sample volume of 35 ng DNA per fly, they successfully built 183 new genome assemblies for 179 species, at the affordable cost of US$150 per genome.
