The Paramount Role of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> in the Study of Epigenetics: From Simple Phenotypes to Molecular Dissection and Higher-Order Genome Organization
<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> has played a paramount role in epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function inherited through mitosis or meiosis that are not due to changes in the DNA sequence. By analyzing simple phenotypes, such as the bristle position or cuticle pigmentation, as...
