Expanding the Genetic
Toolkit for Drosophila
October 7-10, 2007

This meeting focused on new genetic methods that are needed to facilitate modern fly research and how these methods might be developed, including:
* new ways to control gene expression in time and space;
* new deletion/duplication collections;
* new two element systems like Gal4/UAS;
* new recombination systems like cre and flp; and
* new genomic resources like ORF and antibody collections.
