Genetics: Genetic Analysis of Developmental Mechanisms in Drosophila

Nature volume 234, pages 187–194 (1971)Cite this article

The fruit fly Drosophila is being increasingly used in embryological experiments. Because of its well known genetics, and the ease with which the larvae can be manipulated in a variety of ways, it provides an ideal system for following such processes as cellular determination during differentiation, and cloning in morphogenesis.
