Effect of competitive cues on reproductive morphology and behavioral plasticity in male fruitflies [PDF]
Phenotypic plasticity will be favored whenever there are significant fitness benefits of responding to environmental variation. The extent and nature of the plasticity that evolves depends on the rate of environmental fluctuations and the capacity to ...

Pericentromeric heterochromatin is hierarchically organized and spatially contacts H3K9me2 islands in euchromatin. [PDF]
Membraneless pericentromeric heterochromatin (PCH) domains play vital roles in chromosome dynamics and genome stability. However, our current understanding of 3D genome organization does not include PCH domains because of technical challenges associated ...

Drosophila melanogaster: a fruitful model for oncohistones
Drosophila melanogaster has proven to be a powerful genetic model to study human disease. Approximately 75% of human disease-associated genes have homologs in the fruit fly and regulatory pathways are highly conserved in Drosophila compared to humans ...

Targeting and regulatory mechanisms in chromosome-wide gene regulation using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism [PDF]
Tese de mestrado. Biologia (Biologia Molecular e Genética). Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências, 2010O cromossoma 4 de Drosophila melanogaster é muito heterocromático, sendo rico em DNA satélite e DNA de elementos transposáveis. Apesar das suas

Locomotor Assay in Drosophila melanogaster
This protocol describes a simple locomotor assay in Drosophila melanogaster. In brief, the locomotor of each single fly in the culture dish is recorded by a web camera. The moving time, walking length, speed and the locomotor trails of the single fly could be quantitatively analyzed.

Recurrent Modification of a Conserved Cis-Regulatory Element Underlies Fruit Fly Pigmentation Diversity [PDF]
The development of morphological traits occurs through the collective action of networks of genes connected at the level of gene expression. As any node in a network may be a target of evolutionary change, the recurrent targeting of the same node would ...

A connectome and analysis of the adult Drosophila central brain
The neural circuits responsible for animal behavior remain largely unknown. We summarize new methods and present the circuitry of a large fraction of the brain of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

In Drosophila Hemolymph, Serine Proteases Are the Major Gelatinases and Caseinases
After separation on gel zymography, Drosophila melanogaster hemolymph displays gelatinase and caseinase bands of varying sizes, ranging from over 140 to 25 kDa.
