Complex genetic architecture of cardiac disease in a wild type inbred strain of Drosophila melanogaster.
Natural populations of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, segregate genetic adjustment slide variation that leads to cardiac disease phenotypes.One nearly isogenic line from a North Carolina peach orchard, WE70, is shown to harbor two genetically distinct heart phenotypes: elevated incidence of arrhythmias, and a dramatically constricted heart
