Four graphs show the patterns of gene expression at 4 time points during early drosophila embryo development ... segmentation in the body of a fruit fly. You may take for granted the fact that ...

This looks like a “little purple pill” but is actually a fruit fly embryo undergoing a wave of cell division, traveling from one end of the embryo to the other. Look closely and try to guess which ...

In both humans and fruit flies, the heart's tissues arise from two distinct regions of the embryo, which are initially far apart. As development progresses, these cells journey toward each other, ...

While transcripts like caudal (cad) and hunchback (hb) are ubiquitously distributed in the fruit fly embryo, another transcript called bicoid (bcd; Figure 1) is found only in the anterior part of ...

The life of a fruit fly consists of four phases: egg, larva, pupa and fully-formed fly. At 25 degrees, the fly embryo hatches one day after the egg is laid, and it then lives for five days as a larva.

These side-by-side time-lapse videos offer a detailed view of how cells move in a growing fruit fly embryo and of how its nervous system develops and organizes. This is a side-by-side time-lapse video ...

Fruit flies do not require much space and make few demands on their ... During this period, the insects turn into an embryo within one day. Thereafter, they pass through three larval and one pupal ...

In fruit flies, for example, a malfunctioning body ... still other genes that affect the positioning of cells in the embryo. While this sounds complicated, it is a far more elegant and simple ...

They also confirmed that a similar gene defect has effects on neural functioning in fruit flies, according to a study published in November in the American Journal of Human Genetics. Led by Hugo ...

Dr. Bruno Vellutini was awarded first prize and $5,000 for his incredible video depicting "mitotic waves in the embryo of a fruit fly". He used light sheet microscopy to capture the "rhythmic ...
