Distributing Investigational Tools Agilent Case Study: The FlyORF Project Fly collection management in a Swiss research laboratory Technical developments have been instrumental to new discoveries in fundamental science using Drosophila fly genetics. With the breakthrough of a chromosomal position-controlled gene integration system, comparative expression experiments have been taken to a new level. Because experiments are carried out in defined chromosomal environments, over-expression of specific genes has become tremendously easy, comparable, and efficient. The technique has become a true alternative to mutational analysis for basic research projects. The FlyORF project was initiated by the laboratories of Prof. Konrad Basler (University of Zurich) and Prof. Jussi Taipale (Unive
