چکیده
Eric Wieschaus [4] studied how genes [5] cause fruit fly larvae to develop in the US and Europe during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster [6], Wieschaus and colleague Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard [7] described genes [5] and gene products that help form the fruit fly body plan and establish the larval segments during embryogenesis [8]. This work earned Wieschaus and Nüsslein-Volhard the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine [9]. Into the early decades of the twenty-first century, Wieschaus continued his thirty year tenure as a professor at Princeton University [10] in Princeton, New Jersey.
