Visualizing septins in early Drosophila embryos [PDF]

Methods in Cell Biology, Elsevier, 2016, Septins, 136, pp.183, 2016
Functional studies in Drosophila have been key for establishing a role for the septin family of proteins in animal cell division and thus extending for the first time observations from the budding yeast to animal cells. Visualizing the distribution of specific septins in different Drosophila tissues and, in particular, in the Drosophila embryo ...

Recurrent Modification of a Conserved Cis-Regulatory Element Underlies Fruit Fly Pigmentation Diversity [PDF]

, 2013
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 ...

High frequency of horizontal transfer in Jockey families (LINE order) of drosophilids

Mobile DNA, 2019
Background The use of large-scale genomic analyses has resulted in an improvement of transposable element sampling and a significant increase in the number of reported HTT (horizontal transfer of transposable elements) events by expanding the sampling of

Multifractal analysis of the long-range correlations in the cardiac dynamics of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, vol. 28, p.p. 768-775 (2006), 2005
Time series of heartbeat activity of humans can exhibit long-range correlations. In this paper we show that such kind of correlations can exist for the heartbeat activity of much simpler species like Drosophila melanogaster. By means of the method of multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) we calculate fractal spectra $f(\alpha)$ and $h(q)$

Ectoparasitic mites and their Drosophila hosts

Fly, 2017
Only two parasite interactions are known for Drosophila to date: Allantonematid nematodes associated with mycophagous Drosophilids and the ectoparasitic mite Macrocheles subbadius with the Sonoran Desert endemic Drosophila nigrospiracula.

Modeling ADHD in Drosophila: Investigating the Effects of Glucose on Dopamine Production Demonstrated by Locomotion [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Hyperactivity is one of the hallmakrs of ADHD. Aberrant dopamine signaling is a major theme in ADHD and dopamine production is directly linked to the intensity and persistence of hyperactive conduct. The strength and persistence of hyperactivity responses in Drosophila to startle stimuli were measured in a study to determine the effects of sugar on ...

Multiple and diverse structural changes affect the breakpoint regions of polymorphic inversions across the Drosophila genus [PDF]

, 2017
Chromosomal polymorphism is widespread in the Drosophila genus, with extensive evidence supporting its adaptive character in diverse species. Moreover, inversions are the major contributors to the genus chromosomal evolution.

Evolutionary history of LTR-retrotransposons among 20 Drosophila species

Mobile DNA, 2017
Background The presence of transposable elements (TEs) in genomes is known to explain in part the variations of genome sizes among eukaryotes. Even among closely related species, the variation of TE amount may be striking, as for example between the two ...
