Differences in temperature-sensitive expression of PcG-regulated genes among natural populations of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
AbstractEnvironmental temperature can affect chromatin-based gene regulation, in particular in ectotherms such as insects. Genes regulated by the Polycomb group (PcG) vary in their transcriptional output in response to changes in temperature. Expression of PcG-regulated genes typically increases wit...

| Summary: | AbstractEnvironmental temperature can affect chromatin-based gene regulation, in particular in ectotherms such as insects. Genes regulated by the Polycomb group (PcG) vary in their transcriptional output in response to changes in temperature. Expression of PcG-regulated genes typically increases with decreasing temperatures. Here, we examined variations in temperature-sensitive expression of PcG target genes in natural populations from different climates of Drosophila melanogaster |
