mRNA synthesis is one of the earliest readouts of the activity of a transcribed gene, which is of particular interest in the context of metazoan cell fate specification. These processes are intrinsically dynamic and stochastic, which makes in vivo single-cell measurements inevitable. Here, we present the application of a technology that has been widely used in single celled organisms to measure...

Lactobacillus plantarum Oregon-R-modENCODE strain BDGP2 was isolated from the gut of Drosophila melanogaster for functional host microbial interaction studies. The complete genome comprised a single circular genome of 3,407,160 bp, with a G+C content of 44%, and four plasmids.

Gastrulation constitutes a fundamental yet diverse morphogenetic process of metazoan development. Modes of gastrulation range from stochastic translocation of individual cells to coordinated infolding of an epithelial sheet. How such morphogenetic differences are genetically encoded and whether they have provided specific developmental advantages is unclear. Here we identify two genes, folded g...

Bacillus kochii Oregon-R-modENCODE strain BDGP4 was isolated from the gut of Drosophila melanogaster for functional host microbial interaction studies. The complete genome comprised a single chromosomal circle of 4,557,232 bp with a G+C content of 37% and a single plasmid of 137,143 bp.

The developmental conditions of Drosophila melanogaster flies can modify the phenotypic traits adults. However, control these is neglected by some authors in their articles and readers are unaware, for instance, whether developed crowded cultures or fed on a new used medium. Controlling allows to know precisely viability flies, duration development sex-ratio, which be warning signals bad rearin...

In this research, it was aimed to investigate the ecotoxicological effects of seawater from Galindez Island, lake sediment samples collected Ardley and green algae ice Horseshoe Island on Drosophila melanogaster, which is an important model organism. Newly hatched melanogaster larvae same age adult individuals were used. While in control group tested standard media, experimental under 3 differe...

Two species of Drosophila that differ in their ecology and mating systems have been compared with respect to male contribution to the somatic tissues and developing oocytes of females. In the species Drosophila mojavensis females remate daily, exhibit a copulatory plug, and have been shown to obtain a contribution from the male ejaculate. In contrast, Drosophila melanogaster males do not contri...

Unusual properties of molecular evolution in reproduction-related Drosophila genes, including atypically rapid rates of protein evolution, support the idea that natural selection plays an important role in divergence of reproductive function in Drosophila. We used subtractive hybridization to investigate another potential side of evolution of the male reproductive transcriptome. We carried out ...
