Journal ArticleDOI
Daphnia as an Emerging Epigenetic Model Organism
TL;DR: Daphnia's parthenogenetic life cycle allows the study of epigenetic effects in the absence of confounding genetic differences, and more thorough studies on DNA methylation as well as investigation of histone modifications and RNAi in sex determination and predator-induced defenses will contribute to the understanding of epigenetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Drosophila homolog of the mammalian imprint regulator, CTCF, maintains the maternal genomic imprint in Drosophila melanogaster
William A. MacDonald,Debashish U. Menon,Nicholas J. Bartlett,G Elizabeth Sperry,Vanya Rasheva,Vanya Rasheva,Victoria H. Meller,Vett K. Lloyd +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that Drosophila CTCF maintains an insulator boundary on the maternal X chromosome, shielding genes from the imprint-induced silencing that occurs on the paternally inherited X chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endogenously imprinted genes in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: This study provides evidence that endogenous genes are imprinted in Drosophila, and finds that while parthenogenetic females have a superficially normal phenotype and are viable and fertile, their lifespan is extended relative to their sexually-produced counterparts.
