Transcription profiling of Drosophila exposed to a levitation magnet for different lengths of time

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: October 24, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-04-23
Drosophila samples were exposed to the levitation magnet inside a 25mm diameter tubes with 3 ml of yeast-based Drosophila food in the bottom and a chamber of only 5 mm of height over the food. This small region is needed in order to guarantee that all the flies were located in the effective g area so a maximum of 35 to 40 imagos or pupa can be exposed to each condition per experiment. All experiments were carried out with a parallel 1g external control in a temperature regulated incubator outside the magnet. Three experiments of different duration were performed inside the magnet system to analyze the effect of strong magnetic fields and magnetic levitation during different stages of the Drosophila development
