Monitoring food preference in Drosophila by oligonucleotide tagging

A Study on Food Preference in Drosophila

The mechanisms involved in the food perception and selection remain poorly explored in many invertebrates including Drosophila melanogaster. Although our knowledge on these processes has rapidly increased, less is known about the mechanism of deciding or changing in the food preferences of Drosophila. This study explores how the type of media in Drosophila food affect male and female Drosophila...

Food preference in Drosophila robusta and Drosophila tripunctata following desiccation

Oligonucleotide tagging for copper-free click conjugation.

Copper-free click chemistry between cyclooctynes and azide is a mild, fast and selective technology for conjugation of oligonucleotides. However, technology for site-specific introduction of the requisite probes by automated protocols is scarce, while the reported cyclooctynes are large and hydrophobic. In this work, it is demonstrated that the introduction of bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN) into sy...

Thermal preference in Drosophila

Environmental temperature strongly affects physiology of ectotherms. Small ectotherms, like Drosophila, cannot endogenously regulate body temperature so must rely on behavior to maintain body temperature within a physiologically permissive range. Here we review what is known about Drosophila thermal preference. Work on thermal behavior in this group is particularly exciting because it provides ...
