The following stocks were used in a lesson plan published by Derek Dean, David Deitcher, David Loehlin, and Lois Banta (Dean et al., 2020. Mapping a mutation to its gene: The "fly lab” as a modern research experience.CourseSource). The lesson simulates a modern research experience: students cross an unknown mutant to flies with molecularly defined transgene insertions, deletions, and duplications. After scoring the progeny, they interpret their data with FlyBase bioinformatics to map the unknown mutation to a single gene.

If you do not wish to order the complete list of stocks, below the table are suggestions about which stocks to prioritize.
