Figure Data File: Drosophila Wolbachia Cytoplasmic Incompatibility Phenotypes

Claire Perez's dataset, last updated May 7, 2026, contains experimental results on Wolbachia-induced Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) in Drosophila melanogaster. The 30.4 KB XLSX file likely includes measurements of mitotic defects, larval lethality, locomotor defects, and H3K27me1 levels. Data was derived from crosses using females from 13 genetically distinct lines of the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between maternal genetic background and CI-induced lethality based on the 13 wild-type DGRP lines mentioned.
• Analyzing correlations between early embryonic and late larval lethal phases based on the description of distinct factors.
• Investigating epigenetic mechanisms in CI by examining the reported elevation of the H3K27me1 chromatin mark.
• Assessing the full strength of CI by integrating pre-hatching lethality, post-hatching lethality, and locomotor defect phenotypes as described.

Strengths

• Data is derived from genetically distinct wild-type lines (13 DGRP lines), providing a basis for analyzing genetic variation.
• Includes multiple phenotypic measures of CI as described: mitotic defects, larval lethality, and locomotor defects.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical analysis.
• The dataset is very small (30.4 KB), indicating a limited scope of observations.
