Different Genetic Variants at a Locus Affect Timing of Reproduction

Short Answer

Different genetic variants at a locus affect timing of reproduction in houseflies.There is some evidence that this locus affects the reproductive patterns by altering the expression of other loci.To investigate this further, biologists can use _______ to alter the sequence of the gene and microarrays to investigate the genome-wide patterns of gene expression caused by such alterations.
