Project description:Given the continued advances in mass spectrometry technology and methods for database searching since the previous characterization of the Drosophila melanogaster sperm proteome, a new proteomic analysis of sperm samples was conducted to expand the size and coverage of the sperm proteome. This dataset is part of a larger project examining the molecular life history of Drosophila sperm.
Project description:Molecular genetic studies of Drosophila melanogaster have led to profound advances in understanding the regulation of development. Here we report gene expression patterns for nearly one-third of all Drosophila genes during a complete time course of development. Mutations that eliminate eye or germline tissue were used to further analyze tissue-specific gene expression programs. These studies define major characteristics of the transcriptional programs that underlie the life cycle, compare development in males and females, and show that large-scale gene expression data collected from whole animals can be used to identify genes expressed in particular tissues and organs or genes involved in specific biological and biochemical processes.
