In the continual arms race between parasites and their hosts, innovation was thought to be the key to a successful attack or ...

The common fruit fly - Drosophila melanogaster - has been the subject of genetics research since the early twentieth century. The complete genomic sequence of Drosophila was published in 2000 and it ...

From oceans found on distant planets to a detailed map of a fly’s brain, these findings deepened our understanding of the world.

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster was one of the first animal species to have its complete genome sequenced, in 2000 (Adams et al, 2000). Following this many different Drosophila species and lines ...

This common fly, called drosophila melanogaster (or ‘lesser fruit fly’) has been the subject of a lot of genetic studies, but this study of its brain structure may provide insights in how our ...

Earlier work undertaken by her research group had already demonstrated that such a corrective "gain control" mechanism exists ...

researchers analyzed the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to map its neural connections to identify circuit motifs that alter visual processing in aggressive females. They employed cell-type ...

Fruit flies show more variation in sperm length ... variation in sperm and SR length in the lab model fly Drosophila melanogaster. Surprisingly, only about 19% of the genes determining variation ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) are common pests that creep up around kitchens and outdoor barbecue areas. Their numbers tend to ...

All main stocks (>5000 individual lines) of Drosophila melanogaster are housed within a 18 0 C/70%RH controlled room with a remote wireless monitoring and alarm service. The individual lab stock ...

Genetic studies in model organisms, including Drosophila, have a rich history of fundamental insights in neuroscience, including the identification and functional dissection of genes important in ...
