Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
15705556 A single genomic transposon inserted in the desatl gene simultaneously affected the emission and the perception of sex-specific signals, and greatly decreased the production of unsaturated hydrocarbons on the cuticle of mature flies of both sexes.
15944086 desat1 plays major role in biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in drosophila and is also involved in affecting the availability of saturated fatty acids
