Identification of genes involved in Drosophila melanogaster geotaxis, a complex behavioral trait.

Nature genetics - 1 Aug 2002

Toma Daniel P, White Kevin P, Hirsch Jerry, Greenspan Ralph J

Abstract excerpt

Identifying the genes involved in polygenic traits has been difficult. In the 1950s and 1960s, laboratory selection experiments for extreme geotaxic behavior in fruit flies established for the first time that a complex behavioral trait has a genetic basis. But the specific genes responsible for the behavior have never been identified using this classical model. To identify the individual genes involved in...
