Revisiting Mendel: use of a Behavioral Assay to Examine Inheritance of Traits in Drosophila Open
Using the established rules of Mendel and others, predicting the outcome of genetic crosses in model organisms is a common exercise for college students.Frequently, one uses visible phenotypic markers such as curly wings, eye color, and ab…

Effects of Bacterial Endotoxin (LPS) on Cardiac and Synaptic Function in Various Animal Models: Larval Drosophila, Crayfish, Crab and Rodent Open
Gram-negative bacteria produce endotoxins in the form of lipopolysaccharides (LPS).The direct effect of LPS itself has not been well studied.Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are potential receptors for LPS in Drosophila and likel…
