Noncanonical function of the Sex lethal gene controls the protogyny phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract Drosophila melanogaster females eclose on average 4 h faster than males owing to sexual differences in the pupal period, referred to as the protogyny phenotype. Here, to elucidate the mechanism underlying the protogyny phenotype, we used our newly developed Drosophila Individual Activity Mo...
