NATURAL VARIATION IN RADIOTOLERANCE IS ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENCES IN INNATE IMMUNE ACTIVITY AND S-PHASE TRANSCRIPTION IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

Llewellyn Green, Shahrzad Hajiarbabi, Erin S. Kelleher

This study identifies a major QTL associated with radiotolerance in Drosophila melanogaster and links it to innate immune activity and S-phase transcription.

Adaptive P-element insertions in a long non-coding RNA are an emerging piRNA cluster

Savana Hadjipanteli, Natalie Copeland, Nancy Marmolejo Bustamante, Maureen Nweke, Basabdatta Adhikari, Erin S. Kelleher

The paper investigates how P-element insertions in the long non-coding RNA CR43651 affect piRNA-mediated silencing and fitness in Drosophila melanogaster.

Natural tolerance to transposition is associated with double-strand break repair and germ-cell differentiation

Jyoti Lama, Satyam P. Srivastav, Sadia Tasnim, Donald Hubbard, Savana Hadjipanteli, Brittny R. Smith, Stuart J. Macdonald, Llewellyn Green, Erin S. Kelleher

The paper identifies genetic variants that confer tolerance to transposition in Drosophila by linking them to double-strand break repair and germline differentiation.

QTL mapping of natural variation reveals that the developmental regulator bruno reduces tolerance to P-element transposition in the Drosophila female germline

Erin S. Kelleher, Jaweria Jaweria, Uchechukwu Akoma, Lily Ortega, Wenpei Tang

The paper uses QTL mapping to identify genetic variants affecting tolerance to P-element transposition in Drosophila female germlines, finding that bruno loss-of-function alleles enhance tolerance.
