Multiparent Recombinant Inbred lines crossed to a tester provide novel insights into sources of cis and trans regulation of gene expression

Fabio Marroni, Alison M. Morse, Adalena V. Nanni…·Lauren M. McIntyre

The paper introduces a method using multi-parent RILs crossed to a tester to dissect cis and trans regulation of gene expression in Drosophila, finding environmental and genetic trans effects in 31% and 19% of loci respectively.

Multiple methods for assessing learning and memory in Drosophila melanogaster demonstrates the highly complex, context-dependent genetic underpinnings of cognitive traits

Victoria Hamlin, Huda Ansaf, Reiley Heffern…·Elizabeth G. King

The paper assesses learning and memory in Drosophila using multiple methods and finds limited correlation between olfactory and place learning, suggesting context-dependent genetic factors.
