[25, 26]. In agreement are the results of the Drosophila melanogaster host model that simulates important aspects of mucormycosis in humans. In contrast to other fungi, species within the order Mucorales rapidly infect and kill D. melanogaster wild-flies, and their pathogenicity is linked with...
Drosophila melanogasteris one of the most useful model organisms in biology because its small genome and its rapid reproduction cycle allow for fast genetic manipulations to study many genetic disorders, including FXS [27]. The functional domains between human FMRP andDrosophilaFMRP are highly conserved...

Sex-specific trans-regulatory variation on the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome The X chromosome constitutes a unique genomic environment because it is present in one copy in males, but two copies in females. This simple fact has motiv... S Michael,D Rebecca,R Bjrn,... - 《Plos Genetics...
Drosophila melanogaster. Credit: Wikipedia/CC BY-SA 2.5 Winter may be behind us, but do you remember the challenge of waking up on those cold, dark days? Temperature affects the behavior of nearly all living creatures, but there is still much to be learned about the link between sensory neu...
Hamilton's concept of local mate competition (LMC) is the standard model to explain female-biased sex ratios in solitary Hymenoptera. In social Hymenoptera... C Sylvia,H Jürgen - 《Proceedings Biological Sciences》 被引量: 0发表: 2018年 Romantic love: a mammalian brain system for mate choice...
A drive system that exemplifies all the above is segregation distorter (SD) in Drosophila melanogaster 13, 41. During spermatogenesis in heterozygote males, sperm carrying a driving gene complex target noncarrier sperm and damage them, resulting in more than 90% of sperm having the driver. This...
For example, in X0 systems and some XY systems, including Drosophila, the primary signal for sex determination is the X chromosome dose (Erickson and Quintero 2007). In other XY systems, such as the housefly Musca domestica, it is a Y-linked male-determining factor (Hediger et al. 1998...
Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable invertebrate model for viral infection and antiviral immunity, and is a focus for studies of insect-virus coevolution. Here we use a metagenomic approach to identify more than 20 previously undetecte... CL Webster,FM Waldron,S Robertson,... - 《Plos Biolog...
Here, we present a set of simple, inexpensive public outreach exercises aimed at explaining to the public why basic research on one particular invertebrate, the insect Drosophila melanogaster, is valuable. First, we designed seven teaching modules that highlight cutting-edge research in Drosophila ...
