Screening assays for heart function mutants in Drosophila
The rapid life cycle and genetic tractability of Drosophila make it an ideal organism for large-scale genetic screens. Here we describe a novel assay for pupal heart rate and rhythmicity, as well as techniques to measure adult cardiac stress response. These assays can be powerfully combined to concu...
