The circadian clock of the Drosophila melanogaster eye regulates morning anticipation and is selectively linked to the circadian neuronal network
(2023-11-23)How multiple circadian clocks within the circadian neuronal network (CNN) converge to regulate behaviour remains elusive. Circadian behaviour is an organism’s response to environmental cues (e.g., day/night cycles), regulated ... -
GENOMIC IMPRINTING IN Drosophila melanogaster: EPIGENETIC REGULATION OF THE Dp(1;f)LJ9 IMPRINTED DOMAIN
(2010-08-30)Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon whereby the expression of a gene, chromosomal region, or entire chromosome, depends on the sex of the transmitting parent. Imprinting results in an otherwise fully functional ... -
Navigating memory and neuron identity with the COMPASS complexes
(2023-08-24)Epigenetic post-translation modifications are thought to be involved in the maintenance of postmitotic neuron subtypes, however, their role in maintaining differentiated cell-type specific identities is not clear. Previous ... -
Using Drosophila Models to Investigate Human Disease Variants Implicated in Neurodevelopmental Disorders
(2023-12-13)As exome and genome sequencing is becoming increasingly routine in clinical practice, the identification of rare variants is also increasing. Individuals with unique disease phenotypes who undergo whole-genome or -exome ...
