We investigate the biological effects of radiation using Drosophila Melanogaster as a model organism, focusing on gene expression and lifespan analysis to determine the effect of different radiation doses. Our results support a threshold effect in response to radiation: no effect on lifespan and no ...
ORGANISM(S): Drosophila melanogaster 
Transcriptional profiling of Indy long lived flies and controls over the course of their entire lifespan. Mutations in the Indy gene extend life span in Drosophila melanogaster. This study investigates the changes in gene expression over time in Indy206 flies heterozygous over Canton-S (Indy206/CS)...
ORGANISM(S): Drosophila melanogaster 
Dietary restriction (DR) is one of the most studied interventions known to extend life span. The robustness of its effect across species suggests the existence of conserved mechanisms to reduce mortality rates and increase longevity. However, because DR elicits a large number of physiological change...

MYC is a pleiotropic transcription factor that regulates numerous pathways and whose deregulation promotes cancer. Myc+/- mice have extended lifespan relative to their wild type littermates. To better understand the effects of the Myc+/- genotype on cellular processes, microarrays were performed on ...
