Inhaltsangabe

The practicalities of "fly pushing" an affectionate term for doing genetic experiments and crosses with Drosophila is presented here for those who want to use fly genetics in their work, but have heretofore been unable to gain access to the "large folklore of classical genetic tools lurking somewhere in the fly field" (from the introduction). The practicalities of making crosses, isolating variants, mapping genes, constructing specific genotypes, and analyzing mutations are explained, with some theory thrown in to make the techniques intelligible. Requires only an elementary (undergraduate course level) knowledge of genetics. Spiral wire bound, with a cloth cover. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Reseña del editor

This study aims to give investigators the chance to combine molecular and genetic approaches in studies of gene expression, cell function and development. Fly genetics has a large and complex folklore to which this guide aims to provide a bridge. It guides the readers through the practicalities of making crosses, isolating variants, mapping genes, constructing specific genotypes and analyzing mutations. No previous knowledge of fly genetics is assumed. The techniques used are illustrated, and practice problems and solutions are included to assist the reader.
