概要Overview
Drosophila is a small insect that is widely used as a model organism in both basic biological research and medical science because it shares 70% or more of its genes with humans. It has a short generation time of only 2 weeks and is easy to cultivate. Moreover, the Drosophila genome has been sequenced and precisely annotated. The last 20 years has seen significant growth and advancement of Drosophila resources, and the pace of advancement is continuing to increase in Japan.
