Natural variation in stochastic photoreceptor specification and color preference in Drosophila

Natural variation in stochastic photoreceptor specification and color preference in Drosophila

Each individual perceives the world in a unique way, but little is known about the genetic basis of variation in sensory perception. In the fly eye, the random mosaic of color-detecting R7 photoreceptor subtypes is determined by stochastic on/off expression of the transcription factor Spineless (Ss)...
