Drosophila Genetics Background and Significance: Advancing Human Disease Genetics Using Drosophila Models Genetic studies in model organisms, including Drosophila, have a rich history of fundamental ...

A study led by Nikita Komarov and Simon Sprecher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, has discovered neurons in the ...

The success of Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism is largely due to the power of forward genetic screens to identify the genes that are involved in a biological process. Traditional ...

Trudy Mackay and colleagues present a resource of 40 Drosophila melanogaster wild-derived inbred lines. The authors quantify genome-wide variation in transcript abundance for six ecologically ...

Drosophila Genetics and Genomics 3 July 2016 13:00 - 10 July 2016 16:00, Hinxton, United Kingdom Introduction The course will provide participants with a solid knowledgebase when starting or ...

MUMBAI: The fruit-fly or the Drosophila melanogaster, the famous material to study the Mendelian genetic laws, continues to enjoy its importance in several laboratories across the globe in the ...

Drosophila effectively models human genes responsible for genetic kidney diseases Assessing the function of human monogenic podocyte mutations that cause nephrotic syndrome Date: March 17, 2017 ...

Scientists have pinpointed a genetic cause for virgin birth for the first time, and once switched on the ability is passed down through generations of females.

Early in the process of studying Drosophila genetics—according to various stories, it was the very first mutant isolated by his group—Morgan discovered a sex-linked trait, one that was far ...

That sparked the idea that more information on genetics would be helpful. To start, scientists looked to the classic model organisms – the fruit fly or Drosophila melanogaster.

This study by researchers at the North Carolina State University provides evidence that genetic variation at a number of steps in regulatory, developmental, and transport pathways may contribute to ...

The course will provide participants with a solid knowledgebase when starting or developing research projects using Drosophila as a model organism. The course is ideally aimed at faculty, postdoctoral ...
