Project description:To identify the eye-enriched genes by comparing the mRNA expression profiles from wild type fly heads (CantonS) and eye-less fly heads (sine occulis).
Project description:We applied ribosomal footprinting experiment followed by RNA-seq in order to detect circular RNA associated with ribosomes in fly heads.
Project description:This study aims to elucidate how the core circadian transcription factor, CLOCK (Clk), mediates diet-dependent transcriptional changes in fly heads. In particular, we sought to identify how CLK influences gene-level expression changes in fly heads from flies that had been reared on either a high nutrient or low nutrient (dietary restriction) diet.
Project description:CLK targets from fly heads using the TIM-GAL4; UAS-CLKGR line Experiment Overall Design: Fly heads were stimulated with vehicle + CHX or dexamethasone + CHX
Project description:mRNA sequencing was used to identify genome wide transcriptional changes occuring in fly heads in response to spermidine feeding. This study shed light on the molecular mechanisms through wich spermidine can protect against age-dependent memory impairment.
