Therefore the researchers used a variety of genetic tools in fruit flies to remove the enzyme that places H3K27me3 marks and discovered that embryos lacking H3K27me3 during early development could not develop to the end of embryogenesis.

They follow individual proteins in clusters of stem cells, trace cellular migration in a developing fruit fly larva, and observe muscle contractions in a nematode embryo (see video, above), among other tasks.

Embryos that develop from fruit fly eggs lacking the normal amount of Oskar protein are unable to form germ cells — cells that allow reproduction — and so the resulting flies are sterile.

In the common fruit fly Drosophila and related flies, the gene bicoid determines which end of an embryo will develop into the head and which will become the tail.

They identified a gene, found only in one specific group of midge flies, which determines the patterning of the head and tail in developing embryos.
