| Biologists use Sinatra-named fly to show how to see the blues -- and the greens Posted: 09 Oct 2011 11:02 AM PDT Biologists have identified a new mechanism for regulating color vision by studying a mutant fly named after Frank ('Ol Blue Eyes) Sinatra. Their findings focus on how the visual system functions in order to preserve the fidelity of color discrimination throughout the life of an organism. They also offer new insights into how genes controlling color detection are turned on and off.  |
