Expression data from Canton-S and D18 adult flies

Even after decades of living in the same laboratory environment two Drosophila melanogaster strains originating from North America (Canton-S) and Central Russia (D18) demonstrate a few differentially expressed genes some of which may be important for local adaptation (e.g. genes responsible for insecticide resistance). Genes with different level of expression between Canton-S and D18 strains belong to important metabolic pathways, for instance energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolic process, locomotion, body temperature rhythm regulation and tracheal network architecture.
