A multi-component screen for feeding behaviour and nutritional status in <i>Drosophila</i> to interrogate mammalian appetite-related genes

Abstract excerpt
More than 300 genetic variants have been robustly associated with measures of human adiposity. Highly penetrant mutations causing human obesity do so largely by disrupting satiety pathways in the brain and increasing food intake. Most of the common obesity-predisposing variants are in, or near, genes that are expressed highly in the brain, but little is known about their function. Exploring the biology of these ge...
