piRNA-dependent transcriptional gene silencing during Drosophila oogenesis and embryogenesis
… transgenerational genome integrity. In Drosophila melanogaster ovaries, piRNA-Piwi complexes localise to the nucleus and scan nascent transcripts for transposon expression by using complementary antisense piRNAs as guides. Following target engagement, the gonad-specific protein Panoramix …

Characterization of the Drosophila Egfl7/8 ortholog during oogenesis
… and signals that trigger apoptosis during Drosophila oogenesis. Drosophila ovaries are composed of approximately 16-20 ovarioles, each of which contains a series of egg chambers that are proceeding through the 14 stages of oogenesis moving from the germarium toward the oviduct. For the …

Investigating processing body condensation, material properties and function during early Drosophila development
… storage, translation, and degradation. During Drosophila oogenesis, several maternal mRNAs are stored and translationally repressed inside P bodies before they are translated and degraded in the early embryo. How P bodies differentially regulate maternal RNAs is not fully understood. Using a …

Characterization of Factors Controlling Germline Stem Cell Maintenance in Drosophila Melanogaster
During Drosophila oogenesis, a germline stem cell (GSC) divides asymmetrically to produce a renewed stem cell and a differentiated daughter cystoblast (CB) that will progress through the 14 stages of oogenesis to produce a mature egg. A myriad of factors regulate GSC maintenance; extrinsic signals …

Reproductive Genomics in the Stick Insect Clitarchus hookeri
… genes in the gonad that play important roles in oogenesis and spermatogenesis, respectively. In addition, males also expressed seminal fluid proteins that are known to regulate female reproductive functions in Drosophila and are important for determining male reproductive success. I found that, …

Investigating the function and mechanistic control of processing bodies in early Drosophila melanogaster development
… and physically manipulatable model system of *Drosophila melanogaster* oogenesis and early embryogenesis to investigate the function and mechanistic control of processing bodies (P-bodies), an evolutionarily conserved RNP granule. As perceived sites of RNA metabolism, the function of P-bodies, …
