Morgan chose to use the prolific fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model to study genetics. Then, for a period of three years, Morgan and his students struggled to find a way to create a fly ...

One area ripe for investigation with molecular tools was the evolution of sex chromosomes, and Drosophila miranda turned out to be a useful model system. Bachtrog and her PhD advisor, University of ...
