The human body operates by a precisely regulated interplay of different cell types such as blood, nerve and muscle cells. Scientists in Vienna, Austria, and in Martinsried, Germany, have succeeded in identifying all genes of the fruit fly Drosophila that play a role in the development and function of muscles. The work has now been published in Nature.
