Here, we describe the development, structure, and effectiveness of an outreach program, DrosoPHILA, that leverages the tools of our fly neurodevelopmental research program at the University of Pennsylvania to reinforce the biology curriculum in local public schools. DrosoPHILA was developed and is sustained by a continued collaboration between members of the Bashaw lab, experienced outreach educators, and teachers in the School District of Philadelphia. Since the program's inception, we have collaborated with 18 teachers and over 2400 students. Student outcome data indicates significant positive attitude shifts around science identity and grade-appropriate knowledge gains.

Hox proteins, a sub-group of the homeodomain (HD) transcription factor family, provide positional information for axial patterning in development and evolution. Hox protein functional specificity is reached, at least in part, through interactions with Pbc (Extradenticle (Exd) in Drosophila) and Meis/Prep (Homothorax (Hth) in Drosophila) proteins. Most of our current knowledge of Hox protein specificity stems from the study of anterior and central Hox proteins, identifying the molecular and structural bases for Hox/Pbc/Meis-Prep cooperative action.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the characterization of a gene model for the ortholog of a specific gene in the Dyak_CAF1 Genome Assembly, which is documented in GenBank with the accession number GCA_000005975.1.
- This gene model is part of a larger dataset aimed at understanding the evolution of the Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS) across a particular genus.
- The characterization was conducted using the Genomics Education Partnership's gene annotation protocol as part of undergraduate research experiences.
