Phylogenetic and functional diversity among Drosophila-associated metagenome-assembled genomes by Aaron A. Comeault, Alberto H. Orta, David B. Fidler, Tobias Nunn, Amy R. Ellison, Tayte A. Anspach, Daniel R. Matute

“…While much work has been done to document how microbiomes vary across species and environments, much less is known about the functional consequences of this variation. Here, we test for functional variation among drosophilid-associated bacteria by conducting Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and generating metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from communities associated with six species of drosophilid flies collected from “anthropogenic” environments in North America, Europe, and Africa. …”
