Drosophila Information Service Number 92 December 2009 Prepared at the Department of Zoology University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 U.S.A. ii DIS 92 (December 2009) Preface Drosophila Information Service celebrates its 75th birthday with this issue. DIS 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 DIS 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.” During the 75 years since that first issue, DIS has continued to promote open communication. The production of DIS volume 92 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. Carol Baylor was also especially helpful in generating pdf copies of early articles in response to many dozens of individual researcher “reprint” requests. Beginning with volume 84 (2001), the official annual publication date is 31 December, with the contents including all submissions accepted during the calendar year. New issues are available for free access on our web page (www.ou.edu/journals/dis) soon after publication, and earlier issues are being archived on this site as resources permit. 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 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.
