Abstract
Genetic screens in Drosophila melanogaster have long been used to identify genes found in a variety of developmental, cellular, and behavioral processes. Here we describe the characterization and mapping of a mutation identified in a conditional screen for genetic regulators of cell growth and cell division. Within a Flp/FRT system, mutant G.3.2 results in a reduction of mutant tissue and a rough eye phenotype. We find that G.3.2 maps to the gene cnk , providing further support that cnk is a critical gene in Drosophila eye development. This mutant was characterized, mapped and sequenced by undergraduate students within the Fly-CURE consortium.
