Left-right asymmetries recurrently evolve in animals but the underlying developmental mechanisms are unknown. In most Drosophila species, the male genitalia is symmetric and undergoes a clockwise 360° rotation during development. In D. melanogaster, this tissue remodeling process is directed by class I myosins: in MyoID mutants the rotation is reversed and the genitalia remains symmetric. Males of Drosophila pachea have evolved unique left-right asymmetric genital organs and a characteristic right-sided copulation posture in the past 3-6 million years. To test if these asymmetries in morphology and behavior evolved via the recruitment of pre-existing directional cues controlled by MyoID, we used CRISPR to knockout MyoID in D. pachea. Striki...
