Project description:We analyzed Origin Recognition Complex Subunit 2 (ORC2) ChIP-seq from hand-dissected fat body tissue from 68hr (after egg laying, AEL), 92hr AEL, and late-third wandering Drosophila melanogaster larvae. Fat body was dissected from wild-type (OrR) males and testes were removed. We examined ORC2 binding genome-wide with particular focus on the underreplicated regions in the fat body.
Project description:ChIP-seq study analysing adult Drosophila melanogaster head, glial, neuronal and fat body, as well as embryonic RNA pol II and H2A.v binding by employing the GAL4-UAS system to generate GFP-fusion proteins and ChIP-seq
Project description:We used RNA-seq to examine coding and non-coding gene expression variation in the larval fat body of an ancestral African and a derived European Drosophila melanogaster population across three developmental stages spanning ten hours of larval development.
Project description:We compared four transcription factor knockdowns using transgenic RNAi expressed in the larval fat body. FOXO, Tfb1, p53, and Stat92E-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body was quantified on control and high-sugar diets in order to generate expression profiles via RNA-seq. These expression data were used to build a gene regulatory network to predict novel roles for these and other genes during caloric overload.
Project description:We used RNA-seq in a derived European Drosophila melanogaster population from Germany (MU) to examine coding gene expression variation in the larval fat body during the late wandering third instar stage.
