In order to examine gene expression in the pupal wing tissue of Bicyclus anynana, we present an optimized protocol for in situ hybridizations using riboprobes. We also provide guidelines for the further optimization of this protocol for use in pupal wings of other Lepidopteran species.

Source: David Guo, College of Engineering, Technology, and Aeronautics (CETA), Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), Manchester, New Hampshire An airfoil is a 2-dimensional wing section that represents critical wing performance characteristics. The pressure distribution and lift coefficient are important parameters that characterize the behavior of airfoils. The pressure distribution is directly related to the lift generated by airfoils. A Clark Y-14 airfoil, which is used in this...

Source: David Guo, College of Engineering, Technology, and Aeronautics (CETA), Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), Manchester, New Hampshire A wing is the major lift-generating apparatus in an airplane. Wing performance can be further enhanced by deploying high-lift devices, such as flaps (at the trailing edge) and slats (at the leading edge) during takeoff or landing. In this experiment, a wind tunnel is utilized to generate certain airspeeds, and a Clark Y-14 wing with a flap and slat...

Source: Jose Roberto Moreto, Gustaaf Jacobs and Xiaofeng Liu, Department of Aerospace Engineering, San Diego State University, San Diego, California The delta wing, shown in Figure 1D, is a popular design in high-speed airplanes due to its superb performance in transonic and supersonic flight regimes. This type of wing has a small aspect ratio and high sweep angle, which reduces drag at high subsonic, transonic and supersonic flight regimes. The aspect ratio is defined as the wing span divided...

Lysis is the preparation step that releases DNA from collected wing tissue. Once the tissue has been lysed, the DNA can be purified, creating a suitable material for downstream polymerase chain reaction, sequencing, or genotyping. This sequence connects a small physical sample to molecular analysis without requiring the entire animal for testing.
Preserving the sampled animal allows researchers to continue observing or studying that individual after tissue collection. The retained animal can therefore be associated with the molecular result obtained from its clip. This connection is useful when investigators need to follow individuals over time, compare physical observations with DNA-based findings, or monitor inherited traits.
Different downstream analyses address different identification and characterization needs. Polymerase chain reaction, sequencing, and genotyping are all possible ways to analyze purified DNA, while the biological question may involve species, sex, strain, or inherited traits. Selecting among these analysis routes lets a study match the wing sample to its intended genetic or molecular readout.
After collection, the tissue is typically lysed to release DNA, and that DNA is then purified before analysis. The purified material may be examined by polymerase chain reaction, sequencing, or genotyping. Keeping these stages distinct matters because the clip is the input, lysis makes DNA available, purification prepares it, and the final assay produces the interpretable result.
Wing clip biopsy can support species identification, sex determination, strain verification, and tracking of inherited traits. These uses extend beyond obtaining DNA: they let researchers connect a molecular result with the biological identity or characteristics of an individual. In population or laboratory studies, that connection can help distinguish animals, confirm strain-related information, and follow trait inheritance.
At the population level, the method provides a way to associate DNA-based results with particular sampled animals. Because tissue collection is limited to a small wing section and the animal is preserved for continued study, researchers can use those associations while monitoring individuals or populations. This is especially relevant when identity, sex, strain, or inherited traits must be tracked.
