Direct integration of Hox and segmentation gene inputs during Drosophila development
Article Abstract:
Abdominal Hox proteins work directly with two different segmentation proteins, Sloppy paired and Engrailed, to repress the Hox target gene Distalless in anterior and posterior compartments. The results reveal an unanticipated intersection between anterior-posterior compartmentalization by segmentation genes and segment identity specification by Hox genes.

The hangover gene defines a stress pathway required for ethanol tolerance development
Article Abstract:
A new gene called hangover is necessary for normal development of ethanol tolerance. The cellular stress pathway defined by hangover and a parallel pathway that requires octopamine are the two distinct molecular pathways involved in ethanol tolerance in Drosophila.
