Drosophila Information Service Number 97 December 2014 Prepared at the Department of Biology University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 U.S.A. ii Dros. Inf. Serv. 97 (2014) Preface Drosophila Information Service (often called “DIS” by those in the field) was first printed in March, 1934. Material contributed by Drosophila workers was arranged by C.B. Bridges and M. Demerec. As noted in its preface, which is reprinted in Dros. Inf. Serv. 75 (1994), Drosophila Information Service was undertaken because, “An appreciable share of credit for the fine accomplishments in Drosophila genetics is due to the broadmindedness of the original Drosophila workers who established the policy of a free exchange of material and information among all actively interested in Drosophila research. This policy has proved to be a great stimulus for the use of Drosophila material in genetic research and is directly responsible for many important contributions.” Since that first issue, DIS has continued to promote open communication. The production of DIS volume 97 could not have been completed without the generous efforts of many people. Robbie Stinchcomb, Carol Baylor, and Clay Hallman maintained key records and helped distribute copies and respond to questions. Except for the special issues that contained mutant and stock information now provided in detail by FlyBase and similar material in the annual volumes, all issues are now freely-accessible from our web site: www.ou.edu/journals/dis. One special effort deserves grateful acknowledgment. Danny Miller, working with Scott Hawley and Casey Bergman at the University of Kansas Medical Center Stowers Institute for Medical Research, is leading the electronic accession of remaining material from very early copies of DIS (e.g., early stock lists and original mutation descriptions). Many of the first DIS issues are rare and not readily available in libraries. Danny and his associates are working on a project to trace the historical development of some of the original balancer chromosomes that are critical to many Drosophila experiments. Recently, he has gotten the loan of personal copies of several early volumes from Dan Lindsley (University of California, San Diego), and we have obtained others from Ron Woodruff (Bowling Green State University, Ohio) and from our own collection. We expect to have this expansion of content from the very early issues on line soon. We continue to encourage all researchers to consider submitting articles that use Drosophila for teaching as well as articles that report new techniques, research results, and interesting new mutations. In the interests of honoring the long-standing philosophy of open exchange of ideas, we sometimes accept articles that have unusual or limited perspectives. We thank the many contributors from around the world who sent material for this issue, and we invite your submissions as well as any suggestions you have for maintaining this as a useful Drosophila research community resource.
