Using a genetic approach to identify genes that are specifically required for these cell cycles in Drosophila, we found that a Drosophila Cks gene, Cks30A is required for spindle assembly and anaphase progression in both female meiosis and in the syncytial embryo. Cks30A interacts with Cdk1 to...
The life cycle consists of six parts, embryo, first-instar larva, second-instar larva, third-instar larva, pupa and adult. Drosophila melanogaster takes about 9–10 days to develop from the fertilized egg to the adult fly at 25 °C. Drosophila melanogaster is a molting insect and has two...
Fig. 2. Blood cell lineages in Drosophila. (A) The embryonic lineage of hemocytes (blood cells) with parallels to self-renewing tissue macrophages in vertebrates. Prohemocyte progenitors (blue) originate in the embryo and differentiate into plasmatocytes (macrophages, red) and a small number of...
Using the well-studied dorsoventral patterning system, we showed that, despite significant differences in chromatin state and gene expression between tissues along the dorsoventral axis of the embryo, chromatin conformation is largely maintained across tissues. This suggests that cell-type-specific gene ...

During cycle 9 few nuclei migrate to the poles to form the pole cells that become the germ cells of the embryo [18]. After completion of 13 syncytial cycles, the embryo undergoes cellularization. Cell cycle checkpoints maintain genomic integrity and stability by regulating the progression of ...
The beautiful mitotic waves that characterize nuclear divisions in the early Drosophila embryo have been the subject of intense research to identify the elements that control mitosis. Calcium waves in phase with mitotic waves suggest that calcium signals control this synchronized pattern of nuclear divisi...

This thick section analysis has also allowed us to precisely reconstitute the centrosome cycle. From their separation at telephone and throughout most of interphase, centrosomes are composed of a single centriole. We conclude that in the early Drosophila embryo there is an unusual delay between ...
