A genetic screen of transcription factors in the Drosophila melanogaster abdomen identifies novel pigmentation genes
Abstract Gene regulatory networks specify the gene expression patterns needed for traits to develop. Differences in these networks can result in phenotypic differences between organisms. Although loss-of-function genetic screens can identify genes necessary for trait formation, gain-of-function screens can overcome … Continue reading
