Fruit flies, known for their affinity for fruit, have unveiled another interest – riding on a carousel. Research by ...

They found that fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) voluntarily and repeatedly visited a carousel. In a recent study, scientists at Leipzig University have for the first time demonstrated play ...

They found that fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) voluntarily and repeatedly visited a carousel. "Until now, play-like behavior has mainly been described in vertebrates," says Professor Wolf ...

This useful study presents findings on the developmental roles of Nup107, a key nucleoporin, in regulating the larval-to-pupal transition in Drosophila melanogaster through its involvement in ecdysone ...

My research group studies microbial pathogenesis using the model organism, Drosophila melanogaster, to explore how carrying persistent and non-lethal infections influences the organisms behavior and ...

We use fruitflies (Drosophila melanogaster) as our model organism because they perform many complex behaviors with a relatively simple brain, and because of the many genetic tools that are available ...

Canadian and American genome projects to demonstrate that a genomic sequence as large as that of Drosophila melanogaster euchromatin (120 Mb) can be obtained by assembling the sequence of random ...
