Abstract excerpt
In this study, we leverage the power and tractability of Drosophila genetics to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying a group of rare genetic diseases known as fatty acid oxidation disorders. We use CRISPR-Cas9 to generate mutations in 6 putative fatty acid oxidation genes in Drosophila, then analyze the phenotypes and acylcarnitine profiles of these flies. We find that while Arc42 and CG4860 are...
