The fruit fly Drosophila is powerful for studying development and disease and there are many tools to genetically modify its cells. One tool, the Gal4/UAS system, has been a mainstay of Drosophila ...

Researchers have observed a male bias in protein expression in primordial germ cells, which develop into the cells that pass on genetic material during reproduction, of the fruit fly, Drosophila. When ...

The binary Gal4–UAS system has been used to drive the tissue-specific expression of transgenes in a number of animal models. In the February 5 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, ...

Baltimore, MD--The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a powerful model organism for studying animal and human development and disease. It is low cost, generates rapidly, and there are many tools to ...
