Abstract
To the uninitiated, the fruit fly tends to be thought of as nothing more than a domestic nuisance. Yet this shortcoming is outweighed by the contribution it has made, and continues to make, to biological research. Since the dawn of genetics at the beginning of the 20th Century, and on into the genomic and post-genomic eras, many of the most exciting and important discoveries have been made using this humble organism as a model.
