Species Overview

The common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is the premier invertebrate model organism in genetics, development, and aging research. Adults are about 2-3 mm with reddish eyes and a tan-brown body; males are smaller with a dark posterior tip. Its four chromosome pairs carry roughly 14,000 protein-coding genes, and over 60% of human disease genes have clear fly homologs. Many conserved lifespan and aging pathways (insulin/IGF-1, TOR, sirtuins, AMPK) were first characterized or deeply explored in this species. Females lay hundreds of eggs and a complete life cycle takes about 10 days at 25โ€“. The short 60-80 day adult lifespan and powerful genetic toolkits (Gal4/UAS, CRISPR, balancer chromosomes) make Drosophila a central workhorse for high-throughput longevity screens, identifying aging modifiers such as InR/daf-2, TOR, methuselah, and Indy.

Integrated UMAP Atlas & Gene Explorer

Provisional atlas export This view is a provisional export of the LACA whole-fly aging compendium (derived from public Drosophila aging atlas resources; genotypes DGRP-551 and w1118): 151,382 cells across 18 tissues, BBKNN batch-corrected at the LACA level and subsampled to ~10,000 cells per tissue. Cell-type labels use the original study annotations, mapped to the LACA standard vocabulary where possible; unmapped labels (including numeric cluster IDs) are shown as-is. Dataset metadata alignment is in progress.
