Abstract excerpt
The development of most multicellular organisms begins with oogenesis, the production of the egg. In D. melanogaster, egg size is a highly polygenic trait closely related to fitness. Elements of shifts in egg size have been widely studied and modeled, but the genes underlying this variation are still poorly understood. This study aimed to identify candidate genes associated with processes underlying egg-size...
