Project description:We applied ribosomal footprinting experiment followed by RNA-seq in order to detect circular RNA associated with ribosomes in fly heads.
Project description:To identify the eye-enriched genes by comparing the mRNA expression profiles from wild type fly heads (CantonS) and eye-less fly heads (sine occulis).
Project description:This study aims to elucidate how the core circadian transcription factor, CLOCK (Clk), mediates diet-dependent transcriptional changes in fly heads. In particular, we sought to identify how CLK influences gene-level expression changes in fly heads from flies that had been reared on either a high nutrient or low nutrient (dietary restriction) diet.
Project description:Profiled the effect of oxidative stress on gene expression in the heads of adult Drosophila. The flies were fed sucrose with 15mM paraquat (experimental condition) or regular sucrose (control condition) for 30 hours, before harvesting at adult d3. Keywords = oxidative stress Keywords = paraquat Keywords: dose response
Project description:We made RNA-Seq libraries of Heliconius melpomene heads, antennae, legs and mouth parts to identify genes upregulated in heads. We explored the expression patterns of a gene family that functions in visual pigment chromophore transport in Drosophila to identify a non-orthologous gene that has a similar function.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression changes during aging in fly heads and identified genes related to the unfolded protein response are up-regulated upon aging.
