fruitless splicing specifies male courtship behavior in Drosophila.

Cell - 3 Jun 2005

Demir Ebru, Dickson Barry J

Abstract excerpt

All animals exhibit innate behaviors that are specified during their development. Drosophila melanogaster males (but not females) perform an elaborate and innate courtship ritual directed toward females (but not males). Male courtship requires products of the fruitless (fru) gene, which is spliced differently in males and females. We have generated alleles of fru that are constitutively spliced in either the male...
