Online Developmental Biology: Introduction to Drosophila

[@samQu8y]

Hahaha I like the pixelation for the flies while matting. Much respect and best wishes.

[@vidhanjain3076]

This is a very good lecture showing how we can understand complex development and genetic biology from a simple organism and rapidly growing kitchen insect fly. Thanks

[@Jeremiahbae]

Really clearly presented. Great stuff. Cheers.

[@edream2513soccer]

someone give this guy a medal.. so helpful

[@Mishmakau]

Thanks, that was great. I am working with late embryo Drosophila cell lines, but it is useful to understand the whole organism and life-cycle. Many Thanks.

[@explorer45]

C'est vraiment très bien expliqué, merci à Jason.

[@rogerparker3422]

Brilliant lecture! It's a great pity that you've not had time to complete the series.

[@thedanishiqbal93]

please make more videos on development biology... your teaching is interesting, and make sure topics should be molecular level...... anyway thanks for these 5 videos.

[@sahibhajaveed538]

Man you have a youtube channel wake up ...... Great video!

[@833-nidhisingh9]

Amazingly explained 🙌

[@jigneshprajapati8837]

Mind blowing explanation...

[@SlipknoTXXIV]

Didn't know Joseph Gordon-Levitt was a biologist.

[@tcubaseball11]

lmao

[@mickmetalhead]

+Jordan Cruz Haha.

[@pisamaiting1543]

Thank you so much. Your lecture really help me to understand my laboratory.

[@rockapedra1130]

Excellent video! Wow!

[@OmarDelawar]

Wow this is a great lecture. Came here after looking for fruit fly traps and bam....mind blown

[@VictorBanerjeeF]

Nice Illustrated Explanation....

[@Agil1ty]

Hi I have to teach in developmental genetics and this video really helped! Thanks!

[@chitrasrinivasaramanujam6872]

Very good explanation Thanks for the helpful video!

[@Rosey7teen]

This was such a helpful video, thank you so much!

[@michaellyons6666]

Wow , liked the video .

[@afnanzuhdy4470]

The pixelation tho.... Nice :3 Great lecture Btw

[@eminemlandsteiner168]

Are you considering filming the rest of the lectures or continuing your youtube videos?

[@f7744dread388]

Great lecture! That was hilarious how you censored the flies mating.

[@Psyopcyclops]

3:05 The Japanese Fruitfly. Very cool!

[@nasirarmani897]

Very very good

[@abhonkarrutuja4711]

Thanks ....It's really a great lecture...

[@rajendras.fartyalfres8242]

Great Sir very clear presentation...thanks for sharing this information.

[@rashmit8386]

Hey Jason! Where will I find the other lectures from you?

[@udghoshikabhattacharya6428]

Thanks a tonn sir...plzz make a video on axis formation in amphibians

[@Suyamu]

The censorship on the fruit fly copulation was a joke, right? Please tell me this wasn't seriously censored...

[@JasonPellettieri]

Suyamu Do I really need to answer that?

[@jeremianlastly7668]

Suyamu Fruit fly dicks trigger me man... what dude wants to stare at a dick bigger than his own huh?? Do you want bros like me to lose their shit when they see these huge fruit fly dicks, get insecure and start wrecking shit?!? Didn't think so bro. Didn't think so. Kus I'm tough you know? I'm TOUGH AND MY DICK IS BIG TOO BRO.... yeah.

[@antonioferraoneto6681]

I am very curious to see how that very big sperm cell is introduced in the female.

[@vierspartan117]

must be asian drosophila porn

[@miloskostic9698]

THANKS a bunch!

[@alnayemchowdhury3749]

Thank you sir

[@l.fsader6021]

Told mom i'm studying fruit flys and now she thinks i'm really going nuts.

[@medaphysicsrepository2639]

I know this is a lot but I was looking for a full developmental biology course online maybe through something like coursera? or this guys uni?

[@GauravSharma-ps1qo]

Where can i access the whole course?

[@nfactorial4074]

7:47 okay that is beautiful

[@AshishBihani]

Where is Unit 1 Lecture 2 ?

[@JasonPellettieri]

Ashish Bihani Sorry, but I haven't had a chance to record that one yet. I will post it as soon as I do.

[@deadmeme8973]

This is really interesting but I been gagging every time you show the larvae. The people who work with these animals must have a strong stomach.

[@greenshark11]

Ah... Well it just takes some getting used to! XD

[@shwetajohari554]

what are your references?

[@Blowitch]

i had these flies everywhere in my home during months

[@tet8236]

Good day sir, I would like to ask for your references? Thank you.

[@Arrrrggghhhh]

EERrrrmm that big picture of a fly you start with is not Drosophila melanogaster. In fact, I would even say it looks like its in the steganinae (maybe Leucophenga?)

[@JasonPellettieri]

A friend/professor who did doctoral research on fly development felt confident it’s Drosophila, and probably melanogaster (female). But you could be right (hard to evaluate your expertise with a user name like Arrrrggghhhh!). In any event, I primarily use open source images in these videos, so that I can make them freely available without having to obtain a million copyright permissions. My intent with this particular picture was simply to illustrate the major features of the Drosophila body plan.

[@laarusiia]

It's perfect! Thank you , i really enjoy it .I just have a question, are you sure there are 11 body segments? , i have read that it's 14 of them ..

[@JasonPellettieri]

Thanks for your comments, Tannia. In answer to your question, the larvae have 8 abdominal and 3 thoracic segments, plus the head. The head is formed from 3 of 14 total embryonic segments (so what you read is correct) but these are not clearly distinguishable at the larval stage, so Drosophila biologists often refer to 11 larval body segments (8 abdominal and 3 thoracic) plus the head, as I did here. Hope that helps.

[@laarusiia]

Jason Pellettieri Yeah , it does help , thanks :)

bruh...I'm watching this for a Dev. Bio lab 355 and you're about to tell me a fly last longer than me on average??? smhhhh bruh my girl better not ever get near a fly
