Project description:Analysis of third instar eye-antennal Drosophila imaginal discs with forced expression of hth, tsh or hth+tsh in the eye using an eye-specific GAL4 driver (optix2.3-GAL4). Forced maintenance of hth+tsh expression (but not of any of the two alone) results in overgrowth and aberrant cell differentiation. Results provide insight into new targets of hth+tsh.
Project description:Whole-chromatin profile (FAIRE-seq) in three Drosophila species (D. melanogaster, D. pseudoobscura and D. virilis) in eye-antennal imaginal discs at the stage of third instar wandering larvae. By the use of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck methods, we assess the evolutionary forces acting on regulatory elements (cis-level) on chromatin activity across Drosophila eye-antennal imaginal discs at the stage of third instar larvae.

Project description:Transcriptomes of Drosophila melanogaster eye-antennal imaginal discs at three sequential larval stages: late 2nd instar (72h after egg laying (AEL)), mid 3rd instar (96h AEL) and late 3rd instar (120h AEL).
