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 ...

Drosophila possesses around 15,000 genes containing information for proteins. By way of comparison: humans and mice both possess around 24,000 genes. A comparison of the genome of humans and flies ...

We study rare childhood diseases using medical genetics, genomics, and Drosophila models. Understand the underlying mechanisms of Mendelian disease. Clinical and genetic aspects of rare human disease ...

Interestingly, it has been observed that chimeric fusion genes sometimes involve two copies of the same gene (e.g., the alcohol dehydrogenase gene in Drosophila), and when that happens ...

The main goal of Dr. Werner's research is to elucidate the molecular-genetic mechanisms that cause alpha-amanitin resistance in Drosophila. Research Project 3: The Encyclopedia of North American ...

She was a geneticist working on the Drosophila (fruit fly). “I convinced her to take me in, and I worked on the classical genetic Drosophila for five years, finishing my PhD course (in 1997 ...

where he studied the role of the pioneer factor Grainy head in the evolution of gene expression in Drosophila. Following his PhD, Henry joined Nature Reviews Genetics in September 2023.

The research is very integrative and our lab uses techniques from a wide-range of disciplines including microbiology, genetics, chemistry, animal behavior and neuroscience. Shahrestrani P**, Chambers ...

During parasitoid wasp infection, activated immune cells of Drosophila melanogaster larvae release adenosine to conserve nutrients for immune response. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a methyl group ...

The research team initially identified Cul3 as a potential regulator in the Drosophila immune deficiency (IMD) signaling ...
