Transcriptional Profiling Of Neurological Development Of Drosophila Following Bisphenol A Exposure, Eden Johnson
Master's Projects
The ubiquitous environmental chemical bisphenol A (BPA) is an emerging risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). BPA is an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) that is thought to interfere with neuron development by changing neuronal gene expression. Impacting neurodevelopment in this manner can cause lasting changes in behavior and potentially lead to the development of NDDs. Delineating the molecular processes that incur changes in gene expression following BPA exposure will advance our understanding of how BPA impacts neurodevelopmental pathways and affects the pathophysiology of NDDs. An RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis pipeline was created for transcriptional profiling of neurological development in wild-type Drosophila melanogaster …
