One gene provides fruit fly both antenna and color vision

Did you know this? Read all about it in a Wash U press release. About this discovery I can make the following exciting bullet points:

• The pretty picture of a fruit fly is labeled "Pretty fly - for a fruit fly." Which I assume to be a reference to the popular Offspring song.
• Fruit flies have a gene named "spineless." Pretty slick name.
• The (one) person listed under the heading "Subject Matter Experts" is Ursula Goodenough. Pretty slick name.

That is all.
