Talks Abstract: 

Drosophila has been a highly attractive eukaryotic model organism used to understand the functions of gene. Its adaptability from earlier approaches of gene modification techniques like mutations, insertions and deletions to recent genome engineering technologies used to precisely target a gene has made the fly a sought-after model organism in the modern biology era.  Over past decade fly facility has provided services, including a reliable in-house fly stock maintenance service and an improved microinjection facility to generate transgene insertions, to several institutions worldwide. Our facility also provides CRISPR based gene editing to enable precise genome editingWe are also interested in providing genetic screening services and conducting courses within the facility. Some of the recent work will be discussed.
