我们确定了两种野生黑腹果蝇品系之间胸三叉戟色素沉着强度差异的因果遗传变异。这被发现是乌木表达水平的差异，乌木编码黑色素合成途径中的一种酶，对视觉和行为具有多效性作用。
We identified the causal genetic variation for the difference in the thoracic trident pigmentation intensity between two wild-derived strains of Drosophila melanogaster. It was found to be the difference in expression level of ebony, which codes for an enzyme in the melanin-synthesis pathway and has pleiotropic effects on vision and behavior.
