This important study identifies a new key factor in orchestrating the process of glial wrapping of axons in Drosophila wandering larvae. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is convincing ...

Scientists found that fruit fly embryos can develop through multiple genetic paths, not just one. This challenges traditional ideas.

Patterning of the embryo — the process by which asymmetrically ... respectively), in species as different as the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster and mammals, is controlled by the same conserved ...

Their mathematical model forecasts the ideal body plan of a fruit fly's early embryo, suggesting that ... The fruit fly Drosophila, as biologists refer to it, is a widely studied organism ...

Australian scientists created the first kangaroo embryo via IVF, a breakthrough in species conservation. Using eastern grey kangaroo specimens, the technique involved injecting a single sperm cell ...

Scientists in Australia have successfully produced the world’s first kangaroo embryo through in vitro fertilization, or IVF, a feat they hailed as a “ground-breaking achievement” that could ...

Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the genome, researchers have now revealed their crucial role in early embryo development. Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient ...

A combination of methods, including a new method for tagging genes, demonstrates that the chemosensory co-receptors of Drosophila melanogaster (Orco, IR8a, IR25a, IR76b) are expressed widely and ...

Scientists from a collaboration of Australian research institutions have proposed that editing multiple genetic variants in human embryos could significantly lower the likelihood of developing ...
