Molecular Genetics of Early Drosophila and Mouse Development, 1989-04-20 - 1989-04-23

Scope and Contents

Evolution was also the underlying theme of the meeting Molecular Genetics of Early Drosophila and Mouse Development. Homology between related genes of different species is a very powerful tool for studying gene function, as the research on Drosophila homeo box genes and their mouse equivalents has shown. In addition, new advances such as homologous recombination offer the possibility of directly manipulating the genomes of organisms like the mouse, which were previously restricted to classic breeding experiments. This meeting brought together the world's leading scientists working on mouse and Drosophila development with a view to determining whether there are common themes to studies of the molecular development of these two very different organisms. As Science reported (244: 652-654 [1989]), the two groups did find common ground.
