Quantitative genetic analyses of complex behaviours in Drosophila.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Nov 2004

Anholt Robert R H, Mackay Trudy F C

Abstract excerpt

Behaviours are exceptionally complex quantitative traits. Sensitivity to environmental variation and genetic background, the presence of sexual dimorphism, and the widespread functional pleiotropy that is inherent in behavioural phenotypes pose daunting challenges for unravelling their underlying genetics. Drosophila melanogaster provides an attractive system for elucidating the unifying principles of the genetic...
