Regulation of Drosophila Lifespan by bellwether Promoter Alleles.

Scientific reports - 23 Jun 2017

Garcia Júlia Frankenberg, Carbone Mary Anna, Mackay Trudy F C, Anholt Robert R H

Abstract excerpt

Longevity varies among individuals, but how natural genetic variation contributes to variation in lifespan is poorly understood. Drosophila melanogaster presents an advantageous model system to explore the genetic underpinnings of longevity, since its generation time is brief and both the genetic background and rearing environment can be precisely controlled. The bellwether (blw) gene encodes the α subunit of...
