The common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is a well studied and highly tractable genetic
model organism for understanding molecular mechanisms of human diseases. Many basic …

Circadian clocks organize behavior and physiology to adapt to daily environmental cycles.
Genetic approaches in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, have revealed widely …

Fragile X syndrome (FXS), a heritable intellectual and autism spectrum disorder (ASD),
results from the loss of Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). This …

Abstract Study Objectives: This study reports on current child sleep difficulties reported by
parents of children with Fragile X syndrome (FXS). We address prevalence and type of sleep …

The Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most frequent form of inherited mental disability and is
considered a monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorder. FXS is caused by a triplet …

Daily oscillations of gene expression underlie circadian behaviours in multicellular
organisms. While attention has been focused on transcriptional and post-translational …

Double-stranded DNAs are usually present in the form of linear B-form double-helix with the
base pairs of adenine (A) and thymine (T) or cytosine (C) and guanine (G), but G-rich DNA …

Fragile X syndrome is caused by the absence of the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein
(FMRP), an RNA-binding protein. FMRP is associated with messenger RiboNucleoParticles …

The molecular biology of metazoan eye development is an area of intense investigation.
These efforts have led to the surprising recognition that although insect and vertebrate eyes …

Fragile X syndrome (FXS), resulting solely from the loss of function of the human fragile X
mental retardation 1 (hFMR1) gene, is the most common heritable cause of mental …
