Tools for the Fly community brought to you by the GSA Journals
The last two years have seen rapid growth in the resources available to the Drosophila community. Despite the mounting pressure on our colleagues at FlyBase due to reduced funding and recent policy changes, they continue to provide outsized value. In 2024, FlyBase released a thorough set of updates[1] ,1 and continued integration into The Alliance of…

A 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.

From 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…

Re-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…
