Abstract: Here, we describe a drug-inducible genetic system for insect sex-separation that demonstrates proof-of-principle for positive sex selection in D. melanogaster . The system exploits the toxicity of commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics geneticin and puromycin to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2022.1034254
Abstract: Background Chemosensory cues are vital for social and sexual behaviours and are primarily detected and processed by the vomeronasal system (VNS), whose plastic capacity has been investigated in mice. However, studying chemosensory plasticity outside of… read more here.
