Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence of the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans ): Vector of African trypanosomiasis

Junichi Watanabe, +147 more
- 25 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: The sequence and annotation of the 366-megabase Glossina mors Titans morsitans genome are described, providing a foundation for research into trypanosomiasis prevention and yield important insights with broad implications for multiple aspects of tsetse biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drosophila Met and Gce are partially redundant in transducing juvenile hormone action

TL;DR: The data suggest a model in which Drosophila Met and Gce redundantly transduce JH action to prevent 20E-induced caspase-dependent PCD during larval molts by induction of Kr-h1 expression and inhibition of br expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenotrophic viviparity in tsetse flies: potential for population control and as an insect model for lactation.

TL;DR: Findings that utilized transcriptomics, physiological assays, and RNA interference-based functional analysis to understand different components of adenotrophic viviparity in tsetse flies are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paralogous Genes Involved in Juvenile Hormone Action in Drosophila melanogaster

TL;DR: It is shown by overexpression studies that gce can substitute in vivo for Met, alleviating preadult but not adult phenotypic characters and that RNA interference-driven knockdown of gce expression in transgenic flies results in preadult lethality in the absence of MET.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary divergence of the paralogs Methoprene tolerant (Met) and germ cell expressed (gce) within the genus Drosophila

TL;DR: The results suggest that Drosophila Met and gce experienced divergent evolutionary pressures following the duplication of an ancestral gce-like gene found in less derived holometabolous insects.
