Quantitative genomics of starvation stress resistance in Drosophila (2005)
Harbison, Susan T, Chang, Sherman, Kamdar, Kim P, Mackay, Trudy FC
Abstract Background A major challenge of modern biology is to understand the networks of interacting genes regulating complex traits, and the subset of these genes that affect naturally occurring...
Quantitative genomics of starvation stress resistance in Drosophila
Harbison, Susan T, Chang, Sherman, Kamdar, Kim P, Mackay, Trudy FC
The efficacy of transcriptional profiling for identifying networks of pleiotropic genes regulating complex traits was assessed. The transcriptional response to starvation stress in males and females...
Quantitative trait loci affecting starvation resistance in Drosophila melanogaster.
Harbison, Susan T, Yamamoto, Akihiko H, Fanara, Juan J, Norga, Koenraad K, Mackay, Trudy F C
The ability to withstand periods of scarce food resources is an important fitness trait. Starvation resistance is a quantitative trait controlled by multiple interacting genes and exhibits...

Quantitative Genetic Analysis of Sleep in Drosophila melanogaster
Harbison, Susan T., Sehgal, Amita
Although intensively studied, the biological purpose of sleep is not known. To identify candidate genes affecting sleep, we assayed 136 isogenic P-element insertion lines of Drosophila melanogaster....
Energy Stores Are Not Altered by Long-Term Partial Sleep Deprivation in Drosophila melanogaster
Harbison, Susan T., Sehgal, Amita
Recent human studies reveal a widespread association between short sleep and obesity. Two hypotheses, which are not mutually exclusive, might explain this association. First, genetic factors that...
