UIC researchers led by Dr. David Featherstone, an Assistant Professor in the Biological Sciences department, have discovered that manipulating a single gene in fruit flies can alter their normal sexual behavior. The gene, dubbed "gender-blind," has not only attracted a tremendous amount of publicity, but is also a breakthrough in the study of various aspects of animal behavior, such as sexuality and choosing a mate.
