Expression data from Canton-S and D18 adult flies

Even after decades of living in the same laboratory environment two Drosophila melanogaster strains originating from North America (Canton-S) and Central Russia (D18) demonstrate a few differentially expressed genes some of which may be important for local adaptation (e.g. genes responsible for insecticide resistance). Genes with different level of expression between Canton-S and D18 strains belong to important metabolic pathways, for instance energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolic process, locomotion, body temperature rhythm regulation and tracheal network architecture. We used microarrays to make transcriptome profiling of two laboratory strains of different geographical origin after long-term laboratory maintenance 3-day-old adult flies were taken for RNA isolation from Canton-S and D18 D.melanogaster lines in 3 biologiacal repeats
