We learned the various ways Drosophila are model organisms in the lab, and this article supports those examples. In lab we observed various traits such as eye color and wing shape, but this article talks about a human disease (Nephrotic Syndrome) that can be compared in the Drosophila. It is shocking to learn that more than 85% of the genes required for kidney function in humans is similar to Drosophila. It truly is a model organism.
