Novel Regulators of Sugar-dependent Food Consumption in Drosophila melanogaster

Diet and genetic background interact to influence food consumption, yet the genetic basis of diet-dependent feeding behavior remains poorly understood. Here, we used genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) to investigate the genetic regulation of sugar-dependent food consumption in Drosophila melanogaster. Food intake was quantified in 176 lines of the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP)…
