The viral capsid is roughly hexagonal and icosahedral ly symmetrical. The genome of the virus consists of two linear, double stranded RNA molecules. As a result, the virus is often used to study RNA interference as a mechanism of viral immunity in Drosophila . Although widely used in the laboratory, DXV has never been found as a natural infection of Drosophila, and was originally identified in Laboratory cell culture.

The suite consists of 192 fully sequenced lines which have been inbred to near homozygous homozygosity . The primary goal of the DGRP is to provide a common set of strain for quantitative genetics research in Drosophila . Each researcher who uses the lines from the DGRP will have access to other researchers data, which will be stored in a publicly available database. This allows for analyses to be performed across studies without having to worry about complications arising from different labs using genomically different lines of fruit flies. ref http flybase.org static pages news whitepapers Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel Whitepaper.pdf ref Objectives These lines are useful for performing QTL maps, as every line is fully sequenced. This allows for association mapping to be performed, which looks for genomic regions that are correlated to a phenotype. As labs produce QTL maps a comprehensive picture of the Drosophila genome will emerge with unprecedented resolution. Currently, dozens of quantitative traits are being examined by researchers, including longevity , phototaxis , mating behavior , morphology biology wing morphology and oviposition site preference.

Orphan date February 2009 The DmX gene Drosophilamelanogaster X gene is an extremely large WD protein coding gene, which is found in all eukaryote s sequenced so far. Loss of functions mutations are lethal in Drosophilamelanogaster during first larval instar. In human and mouse , probably in all mammalians, there are two copies of the DmX present, called DMXL1 and DMXL2 . The ubiquitous existence of this gene in all higher organisms and the fact that the fruitfly cannot live without a functional copy of this gene indicates that the DmX coded protein is indispensable for life. The DmX gene codes for one of the largest non internally repetitive Peptide polypeptide chain known. ref Kraemer, C., Weil, B., Christmann, M., Schmidt, E. R.
