Abstract

ABSTRACT The 2nd Mexican Drosophila Research Conference (MexFly) took place on June 30th and July 1st, 2016 in Mexico City, at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (Cinvestav). Principal investigators, postdocs, students, and technicians from Drosophila labs across Mexico attended. The guest speaker was Chris Rushlow from New York University, who presented work on Zelda, a key transcriptional activator of the early zygotic genome. Here we provide a brief report of the meeting, which sketches the present landscape of Drosophila research in Mexico. We also provide a brief historical note on one of the pioneers of the field in this country, Victor Salceda, personally trained by Theodosius Dobzhansky. Salceda presented at the meeting an update of his collaborative project with Dobzhansky on the distribution of Drosophila pseudoobscura chromosomal inversions, initiated over forty years ago.

我们也会飞!第二届墨西哥果蝇研究会议

摘要第二届墨西哥果蝇研究大会（MexFly）于2016年6月30日和7月1日在墨西哥城国家理工学院研究与高级研究中心举行。来自墨西哥各地果蝇实验室的主要研究人员、博士后、学生和技术人员出席了会议。演讲嘉宾是来自纽约大学的Chris Rushlow，他介绍了Zelda的研究，Zelda是早期合子基因组的关键转录激活剂。在这里，我们提供了一份会议的简短报告，其中概述了墨西哥果蝇研究的现状。我们还简要介绍了这个国家这一领域的先驱之一维克多·萨尔塞达，他由西奥多西乌斯·多布赞斯基亲自训练。Salceda在会议上介绍了他与Dobzhansky在40多年前启动的关于果蝇染色体倒置分布的合作项目的最新情况。

期刊介绍： Fly is the first international peer-reviewed journal to focus on Drosophila research. Fly covers a broad range of biological sub-disciplines, ranging from developmental biology and organogenesis to sensory neurobiology, circadian rhythm and learning and memory, to sex determination, evolutionary biology and speciation. We strive to become the “to go” resource for every researcher working with Drosophila by providing a forum where the specific interests of the Drosophila community can be discussed. With the advance of molecular technologies that enable researchers to manipulate genes and their functions in many other organisms, Fly is now also publishing papers that use other insect model systems used to investigate important biological questions. Fly offers a variety of papers, including Original Research Articles, Methods and Technical Advances, Brief Communications, Reviews and Meeting Reports. In addition, Fly also features two unconventional types of contributions, Counterpoints and Extra View articles. Counterpoints are opinion pieces that critically discuss controversial papers questioning current paradigms, whether justified or not. Extra View articles, which generally are solicited by Fly editors, provide authors of important forthcoming papers published elsewhere an opportunity to expand on their original findings and discuss the broader impact of their discovery. Extra View authors are strongly encouraged to complement their published observations with additional data not included in the original paper or acquired subsequently.
