This important study offers a molecular characterization of neurons and glia in the adult nervous system of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The study focuses on the progeny of a specific set of ...

An international team of scientists has discovered that tiny changes in the timing of the expression of a single gene can ...

We're part of an international team of scientists which has discovered that tiny changes in the timing of the expression of a ...

They found that a slight change in the timing of expression of a gene called orthodenticle (otd) can cause a significant ...

Soybean aphid and the spotted wing drosophila fly are very costly problems in soybean and soft fruit production.

Scientists are exploring how animal models—hibernators, extremophiles, and small organisms—can help counteract the health ...

Insects do a lot more harm than ruining picnics. Some insects spread devastating diseases, while others cause staggering ...

Ultima Genomics, Inc., a developer of an ultra-high-throughput sequencing architecture, today announced the commercial launch of UG 100 Solaris at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) ...

A gene variant identified in a family and studied in a fruit fly model may offer protection against a rare X-linked seizure ...

We focus here on studies from the powerful Drosophila forward genetic model, with reference to complementary findings from mouse work. We present both neuron-to-glia and glia-to-glia intercellular ...

One in 10 Americans live with a rare disease, which often lacks effective treatments. Such is the case for PIGA-CDG, an ultra-rare genetic disease that causes seizures and developmental delays.

The fruit flies will be used to assess how space travel affects living organisms and what kind of biological changes and ...
