A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioral response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 Conclusions: Our study presents evidence that Est-6 plays a role in the physiological and behavioral dynamics of sex pheromone response in Drosophila males and supports a role of Est-6 as an odorant-degrading enzyme (ODE) in male antennae.

Collective mechanics of embryogenesis: Formation of ventral furrow in Drosophila [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 We propose a 2D mechanical model of the ventral furrow formation in Drosophila that is based on undifferentiated epithelial cells of identical properties whose energy resides in their membrane. Depending on the relative tensions of the apical, basal, and lateral sides, the minimal-energy states of the embryo cross-section includes circular, elliptical,

The PEDtracker: An Automatic Staging Approach for Drosophila melanogaster Larvae
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020 The post-embryonal development of arthropod species, including crustaceans and insects, is characterized by ecdysis or molting. This process defines growth stages and is controlled by a conserved neuroendocrine system.

Drosophila nuclear lamin precursor Dm0 is translated from either of two developmentally regulated mRNA species apparently encoded by a single gene. [PDF]
, 1988 A cDNA clone encoding a portion of Drosophila nuclear lamins Dm1 and Dm2 has been identified by screening a lambda-gt11 cDNA expression library using Drosophila lamin-specific monoclonal antibodies.

A comparative analysis of transcription factor expression during metazoan embryonic development [PDF]
, 2013 During embryonic development, a complex organism is formed from a single starting cell. These processes of growth and differentiation are driven by large transcriptional changes, which are following the expression and activity of transcription factors (TFs).

Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2015 In several arthropod groups, male genitalia is the most important feature for species identification, especially in cryptic species. Cryptic species are very common in the Drosophila genus, and the Neotropical Drosophila willistoni species group is a ...

The Distribution of X-Ray Induced Crossovers from Curly Inversion Heterozygotes of Drosophila melanogaster Females [PDF]
, 1950 That crossing may occur in oogonial cells was suggested by the results of experiments by Whittinghill [1] in which crossing over was induced by x-rays in the X-chromosomes of Drosophila females homozygous for the c3G asynaptic factor.

Population genomics on the fly: recent advances in Drosophila [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Drosophila melanogaster, a small dipteran of African origin, represents one of the best-studied model organisms. Early work in this system has uniquely shed light on the basic principles of genetics and resulted in a versatile collection of genetic tools that allow to uncover mechanistic links between genotype and phenotype.

Identification of methotrexate as a heterochromatin-promoting drug. [PDF]
, 2019 Heterochromatin is a tightly packed form of DNA involved in gene silencing, chromosome segregation, and protection of genome stability. Heterochromatin is becoming more recognized in tumor suppression and may thus serve as a potential target for cancer ...
