Description

Idealized co-expression of FruM and DopEcR in Drosophila melanogaster brain and VNC with neuron web background. This image was generated as an art piece while I was determining whether FruM, a protein important for some sexual dimorphic attributes in flies, co-expresses with DopEcR, a novel plasma-membrane bound steroid hormone receptor.
