Flow cytometry estimates of genome sizes among species ofDrosophilashow a 3-fold variation, ranging from ∼127 Mb inDrosophila mercatorumto ∼400 Mb inDrosophila cyrtoloma. However, the assembled portion of the Muller F element (orthologous to the fourth chromosome inDrosophila melanogaster) shows a nearly 14-fold variation in size, ranging from ∼1.3 Mb to >18 Mb. Here, we present chromosome-level long-read genome assemblies for 4Drosophilaspecies with expanded F elements ranging in size from 2.3 to 20.5 Mb. Each Muller element is present as a single scaffold in each assembly. These assemblies will enable new insights into the evolutionary causes and consequences of chromosome size expansion.
