Understanding human gene function is fundamental to understanding and treating diseases. Research using the model organism\ Drosophila melanogaster\ benefits from a wealth of molecular genetic resources and information useful for efficient\ invivo\ experimentation. Moreover,\ Drosophila\ offers a balance as a relatively simple organism that nonetheless exhibits complex multicellular activities. Recent examples demonstrate the power and continued promise of\ Drosophila\ research to further our understanding of conserved gene functions.
