The gene optomotor-blind (omb) plays a crucial role in Drosophila optic lobe development. Various mutations in omb lead to different structural defects in the adult optic lobes with correlated behavioural phenotypes. Molecular analysis of omb allows one to trace back behavioural defects to the spatio-temporal misexpression of the gene in mutant development.
视动盲基因（omb）在果蝇视叶发育中起着至关重要的作用。omb中的各种突变会导致成年视叶出现不同的结构缺陷，并伴有相关的行为表型。对omb进行分子分析可以将行为缺陷追溯到该基因在突变体发育过程中的时空错误表达。
