Project description:This study provides a screen of sexually dimorphic tissue-specific (brain) gene expression in fruit flies age 3, 7, and 14 days post-eclosion. This work can be used as a baseline reference point for comparing sex-specific brain gene expression levels in fruit flies under stress.
Project description:Study of transcriptome level changes in Drosophila melanogaster populations with divergent reproduction and lifespan patterns A 120 chip study using mRNA recovered from unmated female fruit flies 35 generations after selection for contrasting life history traits. The study includes samples from five age classes and two tissues of flies derived from three replicated populations.
