Social Behavioral Phenotyping of Drosophila with a2D-3D Hybrid CNN Framework [PDF]
Behavioural phenotyping of Drosophila is an important means in biological and medical research to identify genetic, pathologic or psychologic impact on animal behaviour.

On a Hyperbolic-Parabolic Parasitoid-Parasite System: Well Posedness and Control [PDF]
We develop a time and space dependent predator-prey model. The predators' equation is a non local hyperbolic balance law, while the diffusion of prey obeys a parabolic equation, so that predators "hunt" for prey, while prey diffuse. A control term allows to describe the use of predators as parasitoids to limit the growth of prey-parasites.

Physically-Inspired Gaussian Process Models for Post-Transcriptional Regulation in Drosophila [PDF]
The regulatory process of Drosophila is thoroughly studied for understanding a great variety of biological principles. While pattern-forming gene networks are analysed in the transcription step, post-transcriptional events (e.g. translation, protein processing) play an important role in establishing protein expression patterns and levels.

The capacity to maintain ion and water homeostasis underlies interspecific variation in Drosophila cold tolerance [PDF]
Many insects, including Drosophila, succumb to the physiological effects of chilling at temperatures well above those causing freezing. Low temperature causes a loss of extracellular ion and water homeostasis in such insects, and chill injuries ...

DrosOCB: a high resolution map of conserved non coding sequences in Drosophila [PDF]
Comparative genomics methods are widely used to aid the functional annotation of non coding DNA regions. However, aligning non coding sequences requires new algorithms and strategies, in order to take into account extensive rearrangements and turnover during evolution.

Design and construction of a new Drosophila species, D.synthetica, by synthetic regulatory evolution [PDF]
Here, I merge the principles of synthetic biology^1,2^ and regulatory evolution^3-11^ to create a new species^12-15^ with a minimal set of known elements.

Self-degradation of heat shock proteins [PDF]
The 70-kDa heat shock protein of Drosophila decays in vivo at a much faster rate than other abundantly labeled proteins. Degradation also occurs in vitro, even during electrophoresis. It appears that this degradation is not mediated by a general protease

Transcript length mediates developmental timing of gene expression across Drosophila [PDF]
The time required to transcribe genes with long primary transcripts may limit their ability to be expressed in cells with short mitotic cycles, a phenomenon termed intron delay. As such short cycles are a hallmark of the earliest stages of insect development, we used Drosophila developmental timecourse expression data to test whether intron delay ...

CASK regulates CaMKII autophosphorylation in neuronal growth, calcium signaling, and learning [PDF]
Calcium (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) activity plays a fundamental role in learning and memory. A key feature of CaMKII in memory formation is its ability to be regulated by autophosphorylation, which switches its activity on and ...
