Journal ArticleDOI
Male accessory gland molecules inhibit harmonic convergence in the mosquito Aedes aegypti.
TL;DR: An important new role for MAG molecules is demonstrated in mediating female post-mating behavior via the broader range of MAG-induced female refractory mating behaviors in Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mating and blood-feeding induce transcriptome changes in the spermathecae of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti.
Carolina Camargo,Yasir H. Ahmed-Braimah,I. Alexandra Amaro,Laura C. Harrington,Mariana F. Wolfner,Frank W. Avila +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first view of elicited mRNA changes in the spermathecae by a blood-meal in mated females and identified significant differentially expressed genes in each group at each timepoint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strain-Dependent Differences in Several Reproductive Traits Are Not Accompanied by Early Postmating Transcriptome Changes in Female Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: The data support previous work suggesting that many of the early postmating changes observed in D. melanogaster females are not caused by large modifications of transcript levels, and result from preexisting receptors or pathways that are already in place upon sexual maturity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Drosophila nuclear lamina protein YA binds to DNA and histone H2B with four domains.
Jing Yu,Mariana F. Wolfner +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that Drosophila nuclear lamina protein YA can bind to chromatin directly and specifically, with a preference for double-stranded DNA (linear or supercoiled) over single-Stranded DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Determination: Sex on the Brain?
TL;DR: Five newly identified sex-biased transcripts in Drosophila are full of surprises: although they are found in fly heads, and manipulating two of them affects mating behaviors, their genes are expressed sex-specifically in non-neural tissues.
