α-amanitin resistance in Drosophila melanogaster: A genome-wide association approach.

α-amanitin resistance in Drosophila melanogaster: A genome-wide association approach.

We investigated the mechanisms of mushroom toxin resistance in the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) fly lines, using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). While Drosophila melanogaster avoids mushrooms in nature, some lines are surprisingly resistant to α-amanitin-a toxin found solely in...
