i5K Comments for Drosophila hydei
Inbred line (G7) available for which a BAC library was developed:

https://stockcenter.ucsd.edu/index.php?table=GenomeProjects&action=view&id=1448

Model for mating systems, symbiotic associations, behavior, studies of heterochromatin and the Y chromosome.

This species belongs to the diverse repleta group (for which only one species has been sequenced: Drosophila mojavensis). D. mojavensis and D. hydei probably diverged ~14 mya.

It is cosmopolitan like D. melanogaster

It harbors two divergent strains of Spiroplasma bacteria, which protect it from parasitoid attack. Genomic tools would greatly enhance ability to understand this model defensive mutualism.

It has a contrasting mating system to melanogaster (females mate multiply over short periods)

It has one of the longest sperm reported.		 Mariana Mateos
