Project description:Species within the Drosophila quinaria group are models for ecological genetic studies on topics that include morphological diversity, color pattern development, and feeding behavior. Here, we performed bulk RNA-seq of mixed male and female adult flies to provide evidence for annotation of our hybrid assembly of the Drosophila subpalustris genome.

Project description:Analysis of Drosophila melanogaster early embryos (pre-zygotic genome activation) following the germ line-specific depletion of the dMLL3/4 histone methyltransferase (also known as Trr). These results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms responsible for the assembly of the zygotic genome at fertilization.
