We are searching for a single-gene trait in drosophila that would be good
for experiments in dominance.  It's not been an easy search!

This gene should have a history or at least a good indication that dominance
can be evolved.  The most convenient would be something affecting eye color
since it is an easy trait to measure quantitatively.  However that doesn't
limit the search to eye color.

We would be very thankful for any and all suggestions!

Dan Masters
