New to the lab? Below are links to great resources to help get you started.

An introduction to the Drosophila genetic toolkit:

• Start with a primer on the Drosophila model organism.
• Before starting any work in Drosophila genetics, read the Fly Pushing book. You can find this in the lab conference room.
• The Carolina Drosophila Manual is a good short reference.
• Flybase has a collection of common visible mutation phenotypes.
• Check the fly room wall for these posters.

Statistics and Data Analysis:

• See this publication for a review on the problem with relying too heavily on P-values.
• Do not use Microsoft Excel for statistical analysis or graphics! Use R instead.
• Swirl is a nice platform for learning R.
• Please check the lab conference room for books on statistic methods and graphics in R
