A comparative analysis of the genomes of Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis
elegans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae—and the proteins they are predicted to encode …

We report on the quality of a whole-genome assembly of Drosophila melanogaster and the
nature of the computer algorithms that accomplished it. Three independent external data …

Large amounts of data, from DNA sequences to on-line brain atlases, are rapidly
accumulating in public databases, and there is a heightened expectation that the …

We have constructed a series of strains to facilitate the generation and analysis of clones of
genetically distinct cells in developing and adult tissues of Drosophila. Each of these strains …

Genomic sequencing has made it clear that a large fraction of the genes specifying the core
biological functions are shared by all eukaryotes. Knowledge of the biological role of such …

Exogenous DNA sequences were introduced into the Drosophila germ line. A rosy
transposon (ry1), constructed by inserting a chromosomal DNA fragment containing the wild …

We established a collection of 7,000 transgenic lines of Drosophila melanogaster.
Expression of GAL4 in each line is controlled by a different, defined fragment of genomic …

Recombinant DNA carrying the 3-kilobase P transposable element was injected into
Drosophila embryos of a strain that lacked such elements. Under optimum conditions, half of …

Recent studies suggest that the fly uses the inositol lipid signaling system for visual
excitation and that the Drosophila transient receptor potential (trp) mutation disrupts this …

The baculovirus P35 protein functions to prevent apoptotic death of infected cells. We have
expressed P35 in the developing embryo and eye of the fly Drosophila melanogaster. P35 …
