Researchers from New York University have developed a new protocol to generate gene specific split GAL4 lines in Drosophila ...

Fruit flies are persistent pests whose populations can reach problematic levels in record time. But where do they like to ...

A team of researchers have created a new resource for studying motor control of wing movements in fruit flies.

Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) may be pests to humans, but they have their own pests to contend with. Ectoparasitic mites such as G. queenslandicus are some of the worst. Being bitten can put ...

Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and ...

Peters lauded her time at NOUN as "four and a half years of exemplary work," citing improvements in academic delivery.

When a species reproduces, typically, each parent passes on one of their two versions (alleles) of a given gene to their offspring. But not all alleles play fair in their quest to be passed onto ...

THE Bar mutation has been investigated by Sturtevant (1925–26), Dobzhansky (1928) and others. However, so far two very important lines of inquiry have remained obscure in the Bar problem: (1 ...

Using brain mapping, genetic engineering and machine learning, scientists reveal how parasitic bacteria take over fruit fly ...

Researchers have uncovered how non-neuronal cells in the brain – glial cells – play an active role in regulating sleep and ...

At present, there are only a few electron microscopy data sets of the fruit fly’s connectome. None of them has so far included the entire central nervous system – that is, both the brain and the ...
