Why Drosophila to study phototransduction?

Journal of neurogenetics - 1 Jul 2010

Pak William L

Abstract excerpt

This review recounts the early history of Drosophila phototransduction genetics, covering the period between approximately 1966 to 1979. Early in this period, the author felt that there was an urgent need for a new approach in phototransduction research. Through inputs from a number of colleagues, he was led to consider isolating Drosophila mutants that are defective in the electroretinogram. Thanks to the...
