Drosophila Virgin Fly at Ben Keeton blog

Drosophila Virgin Fly. Scientists have said they genetically engineered female fruit flies that can have offspring without needing a male, marking the first time “virgin birth” has been induced in an. A fruit fly of the species drosophila melanogaster, the same one involved in a recent study that used gene editing to induce fruit flies to reproduce via parthenogenesis — or virgin birth. The scientists identified an array of genes that seem to be responsible for the ability of a species of fruit fly known as drosophila mercatorum (pictured) to asexually. For the first time, scientists have identified a genetic cause of virgin birth, and once activated, this ability is inherited by subsequent generations of females. A female fly signals her willingness to mate by opening her vaginal plates, allowing a courting male to copulate 1, 2. With the candidate genes for virgin birth ability identified in drosophila mercatorum, the researchers altered what they thought were the. For the first time, scientists have managed to induce virgin birth in an animal that usually reproduces sexually: Scientists have managed to induce virgin birth in an animal that usually reproduces sexually: The fruit fly drosophila melanogaster.
