DOUBLE WINGS: An ultrabithorax mutant fly has a total duplication of the body segment that carries wings. Recent issues of The American Journal of Human Genetics have featured a newcomer: Drosophila ...
Comprehensive fruit fly behavior dataset maps genetic diversity to decode animal behavioral patterns
The study provides a comprehensive behavioral dataset of Drosophila melanogaster, categorized by genetic background, sex, and social context (isolated or in groups). Beyond enabling detailed analyses ...
This module utilizes Scratch 1 on the Raspberry Pi. It simulates the number of offspring that would display the mutations of two parent flies whose genetic mutations are chosen by the user. The ...

Fruit flies offer new insights into how Alzheimer's disease risk genes affect the brain
Scientists have identified hundreds of genes that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease but the roles these genes play in the brain are poorly understood. This lack of understanding ...
A combination of human pedigree analysis and fruit fly genetics has identified a gene variant that appears to prevent PIGA-CDG, a rare but serious seizure disorder. The findings could ultimately lead ...
When Mika Matera-Vatnick ’21 received President Martha E. Pollack’s email in March announcing the closing of campus, her first thought was, “What am I gonna do with my flies?” Matera-Vatnick, like ...
Caitlyn Perry receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), more correctly called the vinegar fly, is a frequent visitor to ripe fruit in ...
