Abstract excerpt

Analysis of Drosophila eye-colour mutations has made seminal contributions to the fields of genetics and biochemistry. Recent findings suggest that a subset of eye-colour genes is crucial for vesicular transport of proteins to pigment granules, specialized lysosomes of eye-pigment cells. Thus, cl...
