Tissue-specific gene expression response to copper stress in Drosophila melanogaster
We performed RNA sequencing on head and gut tissue from 96 Drosophila melanogaster recombinant inbred strains under control conditions and following 8-hour 50mM copper sulfate exposure. Strains come from the Drosophila Synthetic Population Resource and ranged in adult resistance to copper from highly sensitive to highly resistant.
