Genetic architecture of natural variation in Drosophila melanogaster aggressive behavior.
Aggression is an evolutionarily conserved complex behavior essential for survival and the organization of social hierarchies. With the exception of genetic variants associated with bioamine signaling, which have been implicated in aggression in many species, the genetic basis of natural variation in aggression is largely unknown. Drosophila melanogaster is a favorable model system for exploring...
متن کاملThe genetic basis for variation in resistance to infection in the Drosophila melanogaster genetic reference panel
Individuals vary extensively in the way they respond to disease but the genetic basis of this variation is not fully understood. We found substantial individual variation in resistance and tolerance to the fungal pathogen Metarhizium anisopliae Ma549 using the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP). In addition, we found that host defense to Ma549 was correlated with defense to ...
متن کاملGenetic architecture of natural variation in cuticular hydrocarbon composition in Drosophila melanogaster.
Insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) prevent desiccation and serve as chemical signals that mediate social interactions. Drosophila melanogaster CHCs have been studied extensively, but the genetic basis for individual variation in CHC composition is largely unknown. We quantified variation in CHC profiles in the D. melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) and identified novel CHCs. We used p...
متن کاملThe Genetic Architecture of Natural Variation in Recombination Rate in Drosophila melanogaster.
Meiotic recombination ensures proper chromosome segregation in many sexually reproducing organisms. Despite this crucial function, rates of recombination are highly variable within and between taxa, and the genetic basis of this variation remains poorly understood. Here, we exploit natural variation in the inbred, sequenced lines of the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) to ...
متن کاملUnusual genetic architecture of natural variation affecting drug resistance in Drosophila melanogaster.
Naturally occurring genetic variation was quantified for survival time of adult Drosophila melanogaster exposed to chronic ingestion of the drugs nicotine, caffeine, dopamine, tyramine and octopamine. Responses to nicotine, tyramine and octopamine were genetically correlated in both sexes, whereas caffeine response correlated with starvation resistance. However, there is also genetic variation ...
