Approaches on Arthropod ́s Molecular Systematics Studies

Arthropods in general, and the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster (Figure. 1A), in particular, have traditionally served as models in developmental biology for understanding morphology or for biomedical reasons providing a key to the development of studies on vertebrates, as an important model of genetic organism. All the fundamentals of classical genetics were built largely through studies on these insects, where molecular genetic testing with this Diptera became the basis for understanding ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 3 Number 10 (2014) pp. 156-168 http://www.ijcmas.com
