Genetic, Phenotypic, and Quantitative Analysis of Myoblast Fusion in Drosophila Embryos.

The fusion of mononucleated myoblasts into multinucleated syncytia is a fundamental process in skeletal muscle development. Drosophila melanogaster is a powerful, genetically tractable model for rapidly and efficiently assessing the function of candidate genes involved in this process. Here, we describe a comprehensive...
