Of bits and bugs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Pur-α is a nucleic acid-binding protein involved in cell cycle control, transcription, and neuronal function. Initially no prediction of the three-dimensional structure of Pur-α was possible.

Extensive local adaptation within the chemosensory system following Drosophila melanogaster's global expansion

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
How organisms adapt to new environments is of fundamental biological interest, but poorly understood at the genetic level. Chemosensory systems provide attractive models to address this problem, because they lie between external environmental signals and

Corn Zein Nanocarriers for Agrochemical Delivery and Smart Packaging

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores zein, a corn‐derived biodegradable protein, as a multifunctional nanocarrier for sustainable agriculture and packaging. It examines advances in agrochemical delivery, smart packaging, and stimuli‐responsive systems, while addressing scalability, environmental fate, and regulatory barriers.

Natural variation in genome architecture among 205 Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel lines

open access: yesGenome Research, 2014
The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) is a community resource of 205 sequenced inbred lines, derived to improve our understanding of the effects of naturally occurring genetic variation on molecular and organismal phenotypes. We used

Anticodon Engineered Transfer RNA (tRNASUAG) Inhibits Hepatitis B Virus Replication by Promoting the Degradation of Core Protein

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employed tRNASUAG, an anticodon‐engineered tRNA (ACE‐tRNA), to introduce a phosphorylatable serine into the C‐terminal domain of HBc by reading through its stop codon, thereby potentially promoting the ubiquitin‐proteasome degradation of HBc, and subsequently inhibiting HBV replication. Through a tRNASUAG‐gHBV1‐tRNASUAG‐gHBV2‐tRNASUAG tandem

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 ...

Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

Effects of Yeast on the Growth and Development of Drosophila melanogaster and Pardosa pseudoannulata (Araneae: Lycsidae) Through the Food Chain

open access: yesInsects
Pardosa pseudoannulata plays an important role in the biological control of insect pests. The inclusion of yeast in the culture medium is very important for the growth, development, and reproduction of Drosophila melanogaster, but there have been few ...

In vivo length oscillations of indirect flight muscles in the fruit fly Drosophila virilis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We have used high-speed video microscopy to measure in vivo length oscillations of the indirect flight muscles of the fruit fly Drosophila virilis during tethered flight.

Evolution of genes and repeats in the Nimrod superfamily [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The recently identified Nimrod superfamily is characterized by the presence of a special type of EGF repeat, the NIM repeat, located right after a typical CCXGY/W amino acid motif.
