      abstract = {Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) is a highly versatile  model with a genetic legacy of more than a century. It  provides powerful genetic, cellular, biochemical and  molecular biology tools to address many questions extending  from basic biology to human diseases. One of the most  important questions in biology is how a multi-cellular  organism develops from a single-celled embryo. The  discovery of the genes responsible for pattern formation  has helped refine this question and has led to other  questions, such as the role of various genetic and cell  biological pathways in regulating the process of pattern  formation and growth during organogenesis. The Drosophila  eye model has been extensively used to study molecular  genetic mechanisms involved in patterning and growth. Since  the genetic machinery involved in the Drosophila eye is  similar to humans, it has been used to model human diseases  and homology to eyes in other taxa. This updated second  edition covers current progress in the study of molecular  genetic mechanisms of pattern formation, mutations in axial  patterning, genetic regulation of growth, and more using  the Drosophila eye as a model.},
