Did you know we share 60% of our genes with fruit flies 🪰 ?! I use these weirdos to figure out how genes work! Diversity is our strength.

Let's talk about the HALLOWEEN GENES (really). 1979: It was a dark & stormy night⛈️& a scientist (Eric Wieschaus) is laboring over a microscope🔬, observing the dead remains of ... a fruitfly🪰. But not just ANY fruitfly. This was a TWISTED & MUTATED fruitfly with a GHOSTLY, transparent appearance.
