Dysfunction of Drosophila mitochondrial carrier homolog (Mtch) alters apoptosis and disturbs development

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 276-289, February 2024.
Mitochondrial carrier homologs 1 (MTCH1) and 2 (MTCH2) are outer mitochondrial membrane translocases related to inner membrane carriers. In humans, MTCH1 interacts with presenilin 1 and induces apoptosis upon overexpression. We show here that the Drosophila ortholog is required for development, inducing apoptosis upon its downregulation both in the ...

Female remating in Drosophila ananassae: effect of density on female remating frequency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Drosophila ananassae, a cosmopolitan and domestic species, is largely cir-cumtropicalin distribution and belongs to the ananassae species complex of the ananassae subgroup of the melanogaster species group.

Gene expression clines reveal local adaptation and associated trade-offs at a continental scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Local adaptation, where fitness in one environment comes at a cost in another, should lead to spatial variation in trade-offs between life history traits and may be critical for population persistence.

PATTERN OF CHROMOSOME VARIABILITY IN DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1960
It has been noted by several investigators (Dobzhansky 1944; Novitski 1946; Pavan 1946) that in some species of Drosophila, variability in chromosome structure is virtually restricted to one chromosome. At the same time, they note, the variable chromosome has a large number of inversions distributed throughout the species. This paper shall be addressed

Evolution of the sugar receptors in insects

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Perception of sugars is an invaluable ability for insects which often derive quickly accessible energy from these molecules. A distinctive subfamily of eight proteins within the gustatory receptor (Gr) family has been identified as sugar ...

Global patterns of sequence evolution in Drosophila

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2007
Background Sequencing of the genomes of several Drosophila allows for the first precise analyses of how global sequence patterns change among multiple, closely related animal species.

Comparative validation of the D. melanogaster modENCODE transcriptome annotation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Accurate gene model annotation of reference genomes is critical for making them useful. The modENCODE project has improved the D. melanogaster genome annotation by using deep and diverse high-throughput data.

Embryonic Heat Shock and its Effect on Larval and Adult Performance in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Drosophila melanogaster live across a wide latitudinal range, thus resulting in divergence in thermal adaptation between populations. Despite differences in thermal tolerances, the effects of an embryonic thermal stress on development have not been ...

Dynamic turnover of centromeres drives karyotype evolution in Drosophila

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Centromeres are the basic unit for chromosome inheritance, but their evolutionary dynamics is poorly understood. We generate high-quality reference genomes for multiple Drosophila obscura group species to reconstruct karyotype evolution.
