Pigmentation and behavior: potential association through pleiotropic genes in Drosophila.

Genes & genetic systems - 1 Jan 2013

Takahashi Aya

Abstract excerpt

The molecular basis of pigmentation variation within and among Drosophila species is largely attributed to genes in melanin biosynthesis pathway, which involves dopamine metabolism. Most of the genetic changes underlying pigmentation variations reported to date are changes at the expression levels of the structural genes in the pathway. Within D. melanogaster, changes in cis-regulatory regions of a gene, ebony,...
