Drosophila Gene Expression Matrix
The Drosophila Gene Expression Matrix is a tool used by scientists to study the activity of genes in the fruit fly, *Drosophila melanogaster*. This matrix organizes data showing how different genes are turned on or off in various tissues or stages of development. By analyzing this information, researchers can understand how genes influence growth, behavior, and other traits. The fruit fly is a popular model organism in genetics and biology, making it easier to uncover fundamental principles of gene function that are often applicable to other living organisms, including humans.
