Bioscience:Secrets of the Sequence（29）
Heberlein and her team study these varieties of flies and many others， in an effort to identify genes that regulate the effects of alcohol. Alcohol induces a change in behavior such as it stimulates the flies. They run around more rapidly. What you can do then is to go into the fly genome and mutate one gene at a time in a completely random fashion and then ask， "How does that mutation affect the behavior that you're interested in?".
