Gene expression patterns accompanying a dietary shift in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: The data in this series forms the basis for the analysis presented in the above named paper. In this study, we used cDNA microarrays to ask if changes in gene expression are observed in response to a dietary shift in Drosophila melanogaster, a dietary generalist. Methods: Flies used in this study were derived from a multifemale collection at Iraklion, Crete, Greece, in August 2002 and reared in the laboratory for several generations. Three replicates were performed. At the start of each replicate, we collected 300 newly eclosed adults, separated them by sex, and stored them at low density in shell vials with standard cornmeal media for 3 days. Sexually mature males and females were placed together and allowed to mate. Mated females were allowed to oviposit overnight in chambers containin
