Progress in Drosophila genome manipulation

L W Sentry et al. Transgenic Res. 1995 May.

Abstract

The introduction of cloned and manipulated genetic material into the germline of an experimental organism is one of the most powerful tools of modern biology. In the case of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, there is also an unparalleled range of sophisticated genetic tools to facilitate subsequent analysis. In consequence, Drosophila remains a most favourable model organism for the dissection of gene structure and function in vivo. In this review we look at some of the achievements to date in Drosophila genome manipulation, and at what may be possible in the near future.
