Quantitative Assessment of Eye Phenotypes for Functional Genetic Studies Using Drosophila melanogaster

About two-thirds of the vital genes in the Drosophila genome are involved in eye development, making the fly eye an excellent genetic system to study cellular function and development, neurodevelopment/degeneration, and complex diseases such as cancer and diabetes. We developed a novel computational...
