Drosophila Gene Editing: A Powerful Tool for Functional Genomics and Disease Modeling Fruit flies, also known as Drosophila melanogaster, are beneficial for studying genetics and development. Their genome is well-documented, making it easy to manipulate and breed. Scientists can now study Drosophila genes more effectively with the new CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology.
DNA alterations can be done accurately and specifically by using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The Cas9 enzyme...
