About this ebook
The Atlas of Drosophila Morphology: Wild-type and Classical Mutants is the guide every Drosophila researcher wished they had when first learning genetic markers, and the tool they wish they had now as a handy reference in their lab research. Previously, scientists had only poor-quality images or sketches to work with, and then scattered resources online - but no single visual resource quickly at their fingertips when explaining markers to new members of the lab, or selecting flies to do their genetic crosses, or hybrids.
This alphabetized guide to Drosophila genetic markers lays flat in the lab for easy referencing. It contains high-resolution images of flies and the appropriate marker on the left side of each page and helpful information for the marker on the facing page, such as symbol, gene name, synonyms, chromosome location, brief informative description of the morphology, and comments on marker reliability. A companion website with updated information, useful links, and additional data provided by the authors complements this extremely valuable resource.
- Provides an opening chapter with a well-illustrated introduction to Drosophila morphology
- Features high-resolution illustrations, including those of the most common markers used by Drosophila researchers
- Contains brief, practical descriptions and tips for deciphering the phenotype
- Includes material relevant for beginners and the most experienced fly pushers

Foreword
Of course, there is hardly anything that has missed the digital revolution. FlyBase has come to dominate those of us who do fly genetics so much that it is hard to recall the old days. I first started thinking it was time to switch to Drosophila in about 1971 and I went to Madrid to be taught fly lore by Antonio Garcia Bellido and his students such as Ginés Morata and Pedro Ripoll. The Red Book
by Lindsley and Grell (later Lindsley and Zimm) was our bible, copies were so much used that they fell apart after a year or so. The wonderful drawings of Edith M Wallace were an indispensable part of that book; for us they were essential to learn mutant genotypes and distinguish phenotypes. Then in the last two decades we have turned to our computers for genotypes, names, chromosomal locations, papers on particular genes,
