The genetic basis of quantitative variation: numbers of sensory bristles of Drosophila melanogaster as a model system.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Dec 1995

Mackay T F

Abstract excerpt

The numbers of sensory hairs of Drosophila melanogaster present an ideal model system to elucidate the genetic basis of morphological quantitative variation. Loci affecting bristle number can be identified and their properties studied by accumulating spontaneous mutations, by P element mutagenesi...
