The Drosophila Research Conference, informally known as "the fly meeting", is an annual meeting of Drosophila researchers held in North America since 1958. [1] It is the principal research gathering for "Drosophilists", and is international in scope, drawing 1500 participants in a typical year. [1]
Laurence Marvin Sandler (1929–1987) was a "leading Drosophila geneticist", [1] active during the mid-20th century. Sandler is best known for his work establishing and elucidating the phenomenon of meiotic drive. (Meiotic drive is when one copy of a gene is passed on to offspring more than the expected 50% of the time.)
She served as Director of the National Science Foundation Program in Population Biology. In 1995 she was awarded a Fulbright Program fellowship, which allowed her to pass a semester at the Monterrey Institute of Technology, Campus Guaymas, in Sonora, where she conducted long-term studies on natural populations of cactophilic Drosophila.
The Drosophila Interactions Database (DroID) is an online database of Drosophila gene and protein interactions. [1] It was developed by Russell L. Finley's laboratory at Wayne State University School of Medicine in 2008 and has been funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health's National Center for Research Resources, Michigan Proteome Consortium, and ...
Drosophila (/ d r ə ˈ s ɒ f ɪ l ə, d r ɒ-, d r oʊ-/ [1] [2]) is a genus of fly, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit.

Drosophilist is a term used to refer to both the specific group of scientists trained in the laboratory of Thomas Hunt Morgan, and more generally any scientist who uses the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to study genetics, development, neurogenetics, behavior and a host of other subjects in animal biology.
Anthony Mahowald was born in Albany, Minnesota, on November 24, 1932. [3] Mahowald received a bachelor's degree from Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama. [3] Following his undergraduate studies, Mahowald earned his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1962. [3]
