Contribution of germline to sex-biased expression in Drosophila melanogaster. Drosophila melanogaster

The effect of germline tissue on somatic sex-biased expression is examined. Expression is assayed in various adult tissues with germline ablated directly or genetically. The effect of germline signalling on sex-biased expression in the Drosophila head is also examined. Keywords: Expression profiling Overall design: Two-color microarray experiments in a loop design are used.
