Structural and functional characterization of a putative de novo gene in Drosophila
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

Anti-aging Effect of Ginseng Extract and Its Mechanism on Drosophila melanogaster
Objective: Based on the model organism of Drosophila melanogaster, the anti-aging effect of ginseng extract and its mechanism on Drosophila melanogaster were investigated. Methods: The composition of ginsenosides in ginseng extract were analyzed by HPLC.

Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

A multispecies approach for comparing sequence evolution of X-linked and autosomal sites in Drosophila [PDF]
Population genetics models show that, under certain conditions, the X chromosome is expected to be under more efficient selection than the autosomes.

HeT-A_pi1, a piRNA target sequence in the Drosophila telomeric retrotransposon HeT-A, is extremely conserved across copies and species. [PDF]
The maintenance of the telomeres in Drosophila species depends on the transposition of the non-LTR retrotransposons HeT-A, TAHRE and TART. HeT-A and TART elements have been found in all studied species of Drosophila suggesting that their function has ...

Peptidomics in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
In analogy with proteomics technology, where all proteins expressed in a cell or tissue are analysed, the peptidomic approach aims at the simultaneous visualisation and identification of the whole peptidome of a cell or tissue, ie all expressed peptides with their post-translational modifications. With nanoscale liquid chromatography (nanoLC), combined

Specific Identification Method based on PCR for Drosophila melanogaster
D. melanogaster is one of the most harmful citrus fruit flies having a large number of host plants. The molecular diagnostic method has been created for identification the D. melanogaster from another non-quarantine species Drosophila spp.

Развитие, структура и функции глиальных клеток Drosophila melanogaster
Глиальные клетки (ГК) являются наиболее распространенным типом клеток в центральной нервной системе. Интерес к ним значительно увеличился за последние десятилетия по мере осознания того, что глия является не только «опорными» клетками для нейронов, но ...

Invasive Drosophila suzukii facilitates Drosophila melanogaster infestation and sour rot outbreaks in the vineyards [PDF]
How do invasive pests affect interactions between members of pre-existing agrosystems? The invasive pest Drosophila suzukii is suspected to be involved in the aetiology of sour rot, a grapevine disease that otherwise develops following Drosophila ...

The developmental transcriptome of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most well studied genetic model organisms; nonetheless, its genome still contains unannotated coding and non-coding genes, transcripts, exons and RNA editing sites. Full discovery and annotation are pre-requisites for understanding how the regulation of transcription, splicing and RNA editing directs the ...
