Dynamics of Wolbachia pipientis gene expression across the Drosophila melanogaster life cycle [PDF]
G3 5(12): 2843-2856 (2015), 2015 Symbiotic interactions between microbes and their multicellular hosts have manifold impacts on molecular, cellular and organismal biology. To identify candidate bacterial genes involved in maintaining endosymbiotic associations with insect hosts, we analyzed genome-wide patterns of gene expression in the alpha-proteobacteria Wolbachia pipientis across ...

Testing the Drosophila maternal haploid gene for functional divergence and a role in hybrid incompatibility [PDF]
, 2022 Crosses between Drosophila simulans females and Drosophila melanogaster males produce viable F1 sons and poorly viable F1 daughters. Unlike most hybrid incompatibilities, this hybrid incompatibility violates Haldane’s rule, the observation that ...

Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2012 BackgroundWhen organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.

Evolutionary changes in gene expression, coding sequence and copy-number at the Cyp6g1 locus contribute to resistance to multiple insecticides in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Widespread use of insecticides has led to insecticide resistance in many populations of insects. In some populations, resistance has evolved to multiple pesticides.

In vivo RNAi rescue in Drosophila melanogaster with genomic transgenes from Drosophila pseudoobscura. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Systematic, large-scale RNA interference (RNAi) approaches are very valuable to systematically investigate biological processes in cell culture or in tissues of organisms such as Drosophila.

Live Drosophila melanogaster Larvae Deter Oviposition by Drosophila suzukii
Insects, 2022 The worldwide invasive insect pest, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (spotted-wing Drosophila), lays eggs in soft and stone fruit before harvest. Hatched larvae cause fruit collapse and significant economic losses.

Structural and functional characterization of a putative de novo gene in Drosophila
Nature Communications, 2021 Previous work identified goddard as a putative de novo evolved gene in Drosophila melanogaster. Here, the authors characterize the structure and function of the Goddard protein in D. melanogaster, and they infer its ancestral and extant structures across
