Most people see fruit flies as a nuisance. A scientist at Washington State University Vancouver sees them as the key to understanding evolution.
Scientists found that fruit fly embryos can develop through multiple genetic paths, not just one. This challenges traditional ideas.
The ability to tolerate toxic substances can help animals find new food sources and thrive in certain ecological niches.
The authors examine the role of Numb, a Notch inhibitor, in intestinal stem cell self-renewal in Drosophila during homeostasis and regeneration. This is an important study providing evidence of a Numb ...

However, the findings of today’s Drosophila melanogaster researchers also owe a great deal to decades of genetic tool development. These allow us to create almost any genetic variant we wish.
