Single-Gene Test Crosses Recall that in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the ebony-body allele (e) is recessive to the normal yellow-body allele (E). Say you are given a male fly with a ...

Researchers have revealed that the presence of Nora virus in fruit flies can increase their sensitivity to bacterial ...

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 ...

This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

This study presents a valuable open-source and cost-effective method for automating the quantification of male aggression and courtship in Drosophila melanogaster. The work as presented provides solid ...

Researchers have revealed that the presence of Nora virus in fruit flies can increase their sensitivity to bacterial infection and could limit their lifespan.
