For decades,pinpointing the precise relationship between genes and behavior has been notoriously tricky for biologists. But now, Janelia Research Campus scientists bear devised new strategies to drill down into this link. Using new technologies, or a group of scientists,led by David Stern, has identified a gene that causes male Drosophila to produce different courtship songs – one sings a tall note; the other strikes a low note.
