RALEIGH, North Carolina, March 22 (TNSres) -- North Carolina State University issued the following news release:
A gene associated with courtship behavior in fruit flies does not operate the same way in two different fruit fly species, a new study finds. The work demonstrates that conserved genes - the same genes found across species - do not necessarily have the same function across species.
Fruitless (fru) is a gene common to fruit flies and many other insect species. . . .
