Final Technical Report for ONR (Office of Naval Research) Contract N00014-85-K-0697.

Abstract

Efforts to generate new strains of Drosphila melanogaster which would be instrumental in molecular analysis of a gene which is essential for normal development of the nervous system as well as for normal neural function are discussed. A training opportunity was provided for American Indian students by involving them in the research. X-ray mutagenesis and selection of new mutants at the shibire locus and P-factor mutagenesis are described.
