The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been used as an experimental organism in studies of genetics since the early 1900s. It is now widely used not only in classical and molecular genetics but also, with many new biochemical, cell biological, and physiological techniques, to research problems requiring a multidisciplinary approach, such as those of developmental biology and neurobiology.
自20世纪初以来,果蝇(黑腹果蝇)一直被用作遗传学研究中的实验生物。如今,它不仅广泛应用于经典遗传学和分子遗传学领域,还借助许多新的生物化学、细胞生物学和生理学技术,用于研究那些需要多学科方法的问题,比如发育生物学和神经生物学的问题。
