Despite significant progress in the mechanistic understanding of epigenetic reprogramming of cells, the basis of 'organ reprogramming' by (epi-)gene-environment interactions remained largely obscured. Here, we use the ether-induced haltere-to-wing transformations in Drosophila as a model for epigene...
ORGANISM(S): Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)

We mapped open chromatin by FAIRE-seq and measured gene expression by RNA-seq in 3 types of Drosophila samples: staged whole embryos, imaginal discs, pharate appendages. We first demonstrate that regions of open chromatin precisely define regions of enhancer activity in developing embryos. In contra...

Hox proteins are transcription factors and key regulators of segmental identity along the anterior posterior axis across all bilateral animals. Despite decades of research, mechanism by which Hox proteins select their targets and specify segmental identity remains elusive. To address this question w...
ORGANISM(S): Drosophila melanogaster 
The identity of every segment in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster is determined by the action of one or more homeotic selector genes. These genes encode proteins containing DNA-binding domains and function by regulating downstream target genes. The structure and function of homeotic genes are hi...

Amongst the various different insect groups, there is remarkable diversity in the number and size of wings. However the development of the basic body plan in insects is similar to a large extent. The genes of the hox complex regulate various pathways to bring about the development or modification of...

In Drosophila, defects in asymmetric cell division can result in the formation of stem cell derived tumors. Here, we reveal a different mechanism that can result in the formation of very similar terminal brain tumor phenotypes. We demonstrate that brain tumors in l(3)mbt mutants originate from overp...
