Polyploidy in the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain
To understand gene expression changes in different regions of the Drosophila brain with age, we performed RNAseq different regions of the adult drosophila CNS at different ages. Overall design: 10 brains per sample from Canton-S females and males raised at 25°C on Cornmeal/Dextrose food under normal 12h L/D cycles at ZT = 2, were dissected into optic lobes, VNC and Central brain per sample. Time points are day of eclosion(day0), day 2, day 7 and day 21.
