The Semantics and Mechanisms of Enhancers and Promoters: “What Is True for E. coli Is True for the Elephant, Only More So” Three fundamental classes of gene regulatory elements were identified in Escherichia coli in the 1960s: operators bound by repressor proteins, promoters bound by the basic transcription machinery, and...

Within the field of transcription, the distinctive style of Mark Ptashne and Kevin Struhl stands out.

At his best, Kevin Struhl provides a valuable clarification of the relationship between promoters and enhancers in the regulation of transcription.

Happy New Year 2026!

This year, Hadi Boukhatmi, Régis Giet and I are delighted to be organising the 36th French Droso Meeting in Brittany, from 5 to 8 October.
A great line-up of speakers

Mark the date in your diaries !

The meeting website containing all the details will be opening very soon.

Antone has the reference to Mirsky paper about the fixative or anyone has the recipe? Can find any fixative recipe but this one?

Drosophila - Spraypaint on concrete

Flybase Blast working again, Thank you Chris!

found it and not even close to Browse

There is no more Flybase mirror in Europe? Any place that can be used to blast Drosophila genome with JBrowse feature?

Hey Fly people, anyone can use Flybase Blast...got internal server error since this morning

Unable to access Blast.
Who and how do we contact you?

Flybase down?

Rewiring an olfactory circuit by altering cell-surface combinatorial code - Nature In Drosophila, changing the expression of a small set of cell-surface proteins in just one type of olfactory neuron rewires its connections almost entirely to a new postsynaptic partner neuron type, altering the fly’s odour response and courtship behaviour.

Neuroendocrine control of calcium mobilization in the fruit fly - Nature The peptide hormone Capa is responsible for regulating extracellular fluid Ca2+ levels in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

Excited to share our paper, led by Naoki Okamoto in our group, just out in Nature!

Neuroendocrine control of calcium mobilization in the fruit fly

We “re”-discovered the calcium storage site in “boneless” Drosophila and revealed how calcium mobilization is regulated.

DAF-16/FOXO and HLH-30/TFEB comprise a cooperative regulatory axis controlling tubular lysosome induction in C. elegans - Nature Communications This study reveals that transcription factors DAF-16/FOXO and HLH-30/TFEB promote healthy aging in C. elegans, in part, by activating lipid metabolism genes that remodel lysosomes into tubular network...

In our newest paper published in @natcomms.nature.com, we show that DAF-16/FOXO and HLH-30/TFRB promote healthy aging, in part, by activating lipid metabolism genes that remodel lysosomes into tubular networks (more in comments below).

Bluetorial-Jim Watson

I met Jim Watson a few times but did not know him well. However, I was greatly influenced by his book “The Double Helix”. He was a complicated human being with some very, very bad features, but some good contributions.

What follows is my personal perspective.

1/41

If you believe either that Franklin discovered the double helix, and / or Watson and Crick stole her data, ask yourself how you know this. Then take a read of this article.
