Quantitative genomics of starvation stress resistance in DrosophilaSusan T Harbison
Department of Genetics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA
Genome Biol 6:R36. 2005..Here, we tested the efficacy of whole-genome transcriptional profiling for identifying genes affecting starvation stress resistance...
Co-regulated transcriptional networks contribute to natural genetic variation in Drosophila sleepSusan T Harbison
Department of Genetics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695, USA
Nat Genet 41:371-5. 2009..We confirmed co-regulated gene expression using P-element mutants. Quantitative genetic analysis of natural phenotypic variation is an efficient method for revealing candidate genes and pathways...
Extensive epistasis for olfactory behaviour, sleep and waking activity in Drosophila melanogasterShilpa Swarup
Department of Genetics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, 27695 7614, USA
Genet Res (Camb) 94:9-20. 2012....
Quantitative trait loci affecting starvation resistance in Drosophila melanogasterSusan T Harbison
Department of Genetics and W M Keck Center for Behavioral Biology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695, USA
Genetics 166:1807-23. 2004..However, we also found genes with cell fate specification and cell proliferation phenotypes, which implies that resource allocation during development and at the cellular level may also influence the phenotypic response to starvation...
Phenotypic variation and natural selection at catsup, a pleiotropic quantitative trait gene in DrosophilaMary Anna Carbone
Department of Genetics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695, USA
Curr Biol 16:912-9. 2006..Molecular population genetic analyses of Catsup sequences are consistent with balancing selection maintaining multiple functional polymorphisms...
Understanding the neurogenetics of sleep: progress from DrosophilaSusan T Harbison
Department of Genetics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA
Trends Genet 25:262-9. 2009..Advances in systems genetics coupled with the ability to target specific brain regions enable the characterization of transcriptional networks and neural circuits contributing to phenotypic variation in sleep...
Quantitative genetic analysis of sleep in Drosophila melanogasterSusan T Harbison
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Neuroscience, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA
Genetics 178:2341-60. 2008..The large mutational target that we observed implicates genes functioning in a variety of biological processes, suggesting that sleep may serve a number of different functions rather than a single purpose...
