Fruit Fly Genetic Resource Center

The Fruit Fly Genetic Resource Center is a specialized facility that collects, maintains, and distributes various genetic strains of fruit flies, particularly the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. These flies are widely used in scientific research because their genetics are well understood, making them ideal for studying heredity, disease, and development. The center supports researchers by providing access to diverse genetic resources, enabling advancements in fields like genetics, biology, and medicine. This collaboration fosters innovation and helps scientists explore complex biological questions efficiently and effectively.
