More recently, we have developed and validated a strategy that leverages Drosophila genetics to enhance the power of human genetic studies (Shulman et al. 2011). Despite the promise of genome-wide ...

Many insights gained from researching with Drosophila therefore provide important indications of how a process might unfold in mammals or humans. Analyzing the genome of a fly is easier than of a ...

The sequencing group at Celera Genomics Corporation has cooperated with the European, Canadian and American genome projects to demonstrate that a genomic sequence as large as that of Drosophila ...

Most people see fruit flies as a nuisance. A scientist at Washington State University Vancouver sees them as the key to understanding evolution.

A multi-institutional team of investigators have developed a catalog of transcription factor binding sites that regulate gene ...

Transcription factors are proteins that can bind to DNA and affect the expression of genes; some are known as master regulators that can have a wide impact | Genetics And Genomics ...

These critical structures are rich in what biologists call "selfish" genetic material—transposable elements that move within the genome ... of fruit flies, or Drosophila, and found that ...
