A bipartite gene expression system optimized for C. elegans promises to improve efficiency and reproducibility for worm researchers. Any biologist new to writing their own software quickly realizes ...

Researchers have observed a male bias in protein expression in primordial germ cells, which develop into the cells that pass on genetic material during reproduction, of the fruit fly, Drosophila. When ...

DNA is commonly referred to as the instruction manual of the cell – a compendium of thousands of genes, the particular sequences of which determine the activities of the proteins they encode. But, in ...

Neuroscience research just got a little bit easier, thanks to the release of tens of thousands of images of fruit fly brain neurons generated by Janelia’s FlyLight Project Team. Over eight years, the ...
