Science & PublishingThe great genetic swap: Rethinking essentiality in fruit fly reproduction
The word “essential” carries weight in genetics: lose the gene, lose the function. Luke Arnce, Jaclyn Bubnell, and Charles Aquadro challenge this intuition in a recent focused comparative study of germline stem-cell (GSC) biology across Drosophila species in G3:Genes|Genomes|Genetics. They tested the famed bag-of-marbles (bam) gene for its conserved function as a switch for daughter…

Science & PublishingA new study highlights the need for considering spatial structure in detecting positive selection
Identifying the signatures of natural selection in a population is tricky. A new simulation-based model investigates how population structure affects our ability to accurately predict signatures of selective sweeps.

Science & PublishingFrom flies to potential therapeutics: new insights into treating aggressive childhood tumors published in GENETICS
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison are using an unexpected ally in the fight against a devastating childhood brain cancer: fruit flies. In a new GENETICS study, Sam Krabbenhoft and the labs of Peter Lewis and Melissa Harrison developed a Drosophila model to explore the genetic drivers of pediatric diffuse midline glioma—a rare, aggressive tumor…

Science & PublishingRe-introducing David Hogness, a pioneer of molecular genetics and developmental biology.
Nowadays, we don’t think twice about running a Q-PCR to check the expression of our favorite gene, or to sequence a genomic region to identify a mutation that causes an interesting phenotype. In contrast, 50 years ago, it could take an entire PhD to accomplish such a task. Molecular genetics has evolved at an exponential…
