To better understand the evolution of allopolyploids, 4 different combinations between wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) including 12 F1 hybrids and 12 derived …

The homeotic genes or Hox define the anterior–posterior (AP) body axis formation in
bilaterians and are often present on the chromosome in an order collinear to their function …

GAGA factor of Drosophila melanogaster (DmGAF) is a multifaceted transcription factor with
diverse roles in chromatin regulation. Recently, ThPOK/c-Krox was identified as its …

Abstract The Polycomb group proteins (PcGs) play a vital role throughout development by
maintaining precise gene expression patterns. In Drosophila melanogaster, PcG-mediated …

The Fab-7 boundary functions to ensure the autonomous activity of the iab-6 and iab-7 cis-
regulatory domains in the Drosophila Bithorax Complex from early embryogenesis through …

Trithorax-group and Polycomb-group proteins interact with chromosomal elements, termed
PRE/TREs, to ensure stable heritable maintenance of the transcriptional state of nearby …

The Polycomb group (PcG) of proteins conveys epigenetic inheritance of repressed
transcriptional states. In Drosophila, the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) maintains …

Simple Summary Since its adoption as a model organism more than a hundred years ago,
the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has led to major discoveries in biology, notably in …

Combinatorial expression of the genes in multicellular organisms leads to the development
of different cell types. The important epigenetic regulators of higher eukaryotes are the …

Eukaryotic genome is organized in form of chromatin within the nucleus. This organization is
important for compaction of DNA as well as for the proper expression of the genes. During …
