Journal ArticleDOI

The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel

TL;DR: The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel is described, a community resource for analysis of population genomics and quantitative traits, which reveals reduced polymorphism in centromeric autosomal regions and the X chromosomes, evidence for positive and negative selection, and rapid evolution of the X chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systems genetics of complex traits in Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: The authors quantified genome-wide transcript abundance and phenotypes for six ecologically relevant traits in D. melanogaster wild-derived inbred lines and observed 10,096 genetically variable transcripts and high heritabilities for all organismal phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genomic Basis of Postponed Senescence in Drosophila melanogaster

TL;DR: The genetic divergence between five Drosophila melanogaster lines selected for postponed senescence for over 170 generations and five lines from the same base population maintained at a two week generation interval for over 850 generations is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alcohol sensitivity in Drosophila: translational potential of systems genetics.

TL;DR: Seven intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms of the Malic Enzyme 1 (ME1) gene that are associated with cocktail drinking in 1687 individuals of the Framingham Offspring cohort are identified, implicating that variation in levels of cytoplasmic malic enzyme may contribute to variation in alcohol consumption.
