Abstract

One hundred years ago, two reports appeared of tetraploid D. melanogaster females - curiosities that had never been seen before. The authors, Calvin Bridges and Lilian Morgan, were among the famed founders of fly genetics in T.H. Morgan's lab at Columbia University. Sadly, their findings have faded into the fog of ancient fly lore. This review exhumes those relics in order to offer modern fly-pushers some possible avenues for polyploid research. That subfield is undergoing a revival that may interest them.

回顾黑腹蝇多倍体研究的历史：自3只4组染色体的2篇报道以来的1个世纪。

一百年前，有两篇关于四倍体黑腹龙雌性的报道——这是以前从未见过的奇闻。论文作者卡尔文·布里奇斯（Calvin Bridges）和莉莲·摩根（Lilian Morgan）是哥伦比亚大学T.H.摩根实验室著名的果蝇遗传学创始人之一。可悲的是，他们的发现已经消失在古老的苍蝇爱的迷雾中。本文对这些遗存进行了挖掘，以期为现代蝇人多倍体研究提供一些可能的途径。这一子领域正在经历复兴，这可能会引起他们的兴趣。

期刊介绍： Fly is the first international peer-reviewed journal to focus on Drosophila research. Fly covers a broad range of biological sub-disciplines, ranging from developmental biology and organogenesis to sensory neurobiology, circadian rhythm and learning and memory, to sex determination, evolutionary biology and speciation. We strive to become the “to go” resource for every researcher working with Drosophila by providing a forum where the specific interests of the Drosophila community can be discussed. With the advance of molecular technologies that enable researchers to manipulate genes and their functions in many other organisms, Fly is now also publishing papers that use other insect model systems used to investigate important biological questions. Fly offers a variety of papers, including Original Research Articles, Methods and Technical Advances, Brief Communications, Reviews and Meeting Reports. In addition, Fly also features two unconventional types of contributions, Counterpoints and Extra View articles. Counterpoints are opinion pieces that critically discuss controversial papers questioning current paradigms, whether justified or not. Extra View articles, which generally are solicited by Fly editors, provide authors of important forthcoming papers published elsewhere an opportunity to expand on their original findings and discuss the broader impact of their discovery. Extra View authors are strongly encouraged to complement their published observations with additional data not included in the original paper or acquired subsequently.
