The art and design of genetic screens: Drosophila melanogaster.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Mar 2002

St Johnston Daniel

Abstract excerpt

The success of Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism is largely due to the power of forward genetic screens to identify the genes that are involved in a biological process. Traditional screens, such as the Nobel-prize-winning screen for embryonic-patterning mutants, can only identify the earliest phenotype of a mutation. This review describes the ingenious approaches that have been devised to circumvent...
