Project description:Drosophila melanogaster is a validated eukaryotic model for immunity-concerned studies in the post-genomic era. In the present study we performed oral experimental infection of D. melanogaster with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain ATCC27853). By using a whole genome microarray approach, we intended to identify significant alterations in the expression profile of relevant genes amenable to qualify as new models for the investigation of specific host-parasite interactions.
Project description:we investigated changes in transcriptome of Drosophila guts following ingestion of sucrose (control), Erwinia carotovora carotovora 15, Pseudomonas entomophila, or Pseudomonas entomophila mutant gacA
Project description:Thermal acclimation study on Drosophila melanogaster reared at 3 different temperatures (12, 25, and 31oC). The proteomic profiles of D. melanogaster under these different temperatures were analyzed and compared using label-free tandem mass spectrometry.
Project description:To verify unannotated translated open reading frames (utORFs) identified from Drosophila melanogaster, we collected data to target them.
