Researchers from New York University have developed a new protocol to generate gene specific split GAL4 lines in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) using genetic crosses, which offers a cost ...

A particularly useful model organism is Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as the fruit fly. This fly has become the main invertebrate model used to study developmental genetics. It has been ...

The fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, has been of central importance in analysing the mechanics of cellular processes. Classic forward genetic screens in the fly have identified many of the genes ...

Caitlyn Perry receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), more correctly called the vinegar fly, is a frequent visitor to ripe fruit in ...
