Expanding the Genetic Toolkit for Drosophila
This meeting focused on new genetic methods that are needed to facilitate modern fly research and how these methods might be developed, including:
- new ways to control gene expression in time and space;
- new deletion/duplication collections;
- new two element systems like Gal4/UAS;
- new recombination systems like cre and flp; and
- new genomic resources like ORF and antibody collections.
