To identify genes that modulate Rho signalling during cytokinesis we tested the effect of overexpressing a set of 2190 genes on an eye phenotype caused by defective Rho activation. The resulting 112 modifier loci fell into three main classe...

Since the birth of the first cloned sheep in 1996, advances in nuclear transplantation have led to both the creation of genetically tailored stem cells and the generation of a number of cloned organisms. The list of cloned animals reared to...

The process of speciation requires the development of isolating mechanisms that act as barriers to gene flow between incipient species. Such mechanisms can occur at three different levels: precopulatory or behavioral isolation, postcopulato...
Genetic and behavioral analysis of natural variation in Drosophila melanogaster pupation position [0.03%]

Drosophila melanogaster pupae are exposed to many biotic and abiotic dangers while immobilized during several days of metamorphosis. As a passive defense mechanism, appropriate pupation site selection represents an important mitigation of t...
Vector-dependent gene expression driven by insulated P-element reporter vectors [0.03%]

The Pelican and Stinger series of P-element transformation vectors are a popular choice for reporter gene expression in transgenic flies. We report here as a cautionary note that these vectors on their own can drive reporter gene expression...
Molecular evolution of Drosophila Cdc6, an essential DNA replication-licensing gene, suggests an adaptive choice of replication origins [0.03%]
果蝇Cdc6的分子进化表明DNA复制起点存在适应性选择

Increased size of eukaryotic genomes necessitated the use of multiple origins of DNA replication, and presumably selected for their efficient spacing to ensure rapid DNA replication. The sequence of these origins remains undetermined in met...
The abdominal-B promoter tethering element mediates promoter-enhancer specificity at the Drosophila bithorax complex [0.03%]
果蝇bithorax复合体中腹盘素B启动子的定位元件介导启动子-增强子的特异性互动
Omar S Akbari,Ben J Schiller,Sara E Goetz et al.
Omar S Akbari et al.
At the Drosophila bithorax complex many distinct classes of cis-regulatory modules work collectively during development to control gene expression. Abdominal-B (Abd-B) is one of three homeotic genes in the BX-C and is expressed in specific ...
Stage-specific modulation of Drosophila gene expression with muscle GAL4 promoters [0.03%]
肌动蛋白GAL4启动子在果蝇特定发育阶段的基因表达调控中的作用
The bipartite GAL4/UAS system is the most widely used method for targeted gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster and facilitates rapid in vivo genetic experimentation. Defining precise gene expression patterns for tissues and/or cell ty...
