Genome-wide association analysis of oxidative stress resistance in Drosophila melanogaster.

<h4>Background</h4>Aerobic organisms are susceptible to damage by reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress resistance is a quantitative trait with population variation attributable to the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Drosophila melanogaster provides an ideal syst...

We found significant genetic variation for both stressors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with variation in oxidative stress resistance were often sex-specific and agent-dependent, with a small subset common for both sexes or treatments.

Many genes implicated were novel with no known role in oxidative stress resistance.

We confirmed associations of seven candidate genes associated with natural variation in oxidative stress resistance through mutational analysis.<h4>Conclusions</h4>We identified novel candidate genes associated with variation in resistance to oxidative stress that have context-dependent effects.
