"Vishva knew I was an expert in Drosophila (fruit fly) genetics, a resource that was not available at Genentech," Wolf said.

The ability to tolerate toxic substances can help animals find new food sources and thrive in certain ecological niches.

Morgan chose to use the prolific fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model to study genetics. Then, for a period of three years, Morgan and his students struggled to find a way to create a fly ...

How fruit flies mate may hold a key to limiting the spread of diseases by mosquitoes. In a new study, University of Iowa researchers found a gene that orchestrates the antenna movements of female ...
