Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly (the taxonomic order Diptera) in the familyDrosophilidae. The species is known generally as the common fruit fly or vinegar fly. Starting with Charles W. Woodworth‘s proposal of the use of this species as a model organism, D. melanogaster continues to be widely used for biological research in studies […] read more
