This study aims to give investigators the chance to combine molecular and genetic approaches in studies of gene expression, cell function and development. Fly genetics has a large and complex folklore to which this guide aims to provide a bridge. It guides the readers through the practicalities of making crosses, isolating variants, mapping genes, constructing specific genotypes and analyzing mutations. No previous knowledge of fly genetics is assumed. The techniques used are illustrated, and practice problems and solutions are included to assist the reader.
