"Despite much talk of the 'postgenomic' era, the publication of the human genome now appears to be a taking-off point in the demand for genome sequencing, starting with other yeasts, invertebrates, and mammals for comparative genomics."

如何製造基因轉殖果蠅?

所謂的基因轉殖果蠅,是指某一種果蠅品系,他的genome裡面就帶有外來的基因,非果蠅自己原本就有的。像是GAL4/UAS binary expression system裡的GAL4 lines, UAS lines, LexA lines ...etc. (可以說…做實驗用的果蠅,絕大部分都是基因轉殖果蠅)
