Cells navigating in complex microenvironments frequently encounter narrow spaces that physically challenge migration.

An MTF2-containing subcomplex of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 promotes cell cycle progression through repression of D-type cyclin expression in certain cellular contexts.

Cheers: To Drosophila melanogaster. It seems unlikely that we would cheer fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster is the scientific name), but some interesting work is being done with the pests at Washin ...

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 expression across the genome, according to a recent study published in ...

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is well known as a fruit pest, especially in summer. It is widely used in research and has become one of the best established model organisms for the study of ...

Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of foreign bacterial genetic material into the beetle genome, which is thought to be the result of earlier symbioses.

During the last century, biologists have extensively studied Drosophila melanogaster ... A small species with a well-studied genome that is highly fertile, inexpensive, and easy to observe ...
