Developmental biology is the study of the process by which organisms grow and develop. Modern developmental biology studies the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation and “morphogenesis”, which is the process that gives rise to tissues, organs and anatomy. One of the important goal for developmental biologists is to understand how humans develop from a… Read More »

Over Expression in Drosophila – The UAS-GAL4 Binary System

By | April 15, 2021

The reason for Drosophila melanogaster being a very successful model system when compared to other equally beautiful model organisms in the field will be its short life cycle, cheap to maintain in lab, availability of BALANCER CHROMOSOME’S , many offspring’s, feature-rich morphology (various genetic markers) and not to forget wide array of genetic tools. The… Read More »
