Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

This detailed volume compiles numerous methods to explore fly oogenesis. Beginning with updated protocols from isolating and staining the ovary to numerous imaging techniques and genetic protocols for cell-specific assessment and CRISPR-mediated mutagenesis, the volume continues by detailing techniques from assessing cytoskeletal structures to uncovering protein-protein interactions, with closing chapters exploring how Drosophila oogenesis can be used in the classroom and in outreach programs to increase interest in biomedical research, STEM education, and STEM careers. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. 
Authoritative and practical, Drosophila Oogenesis: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for both new and expert researchers working with this robust and versatile model organism.
