A #sciart #scicomm thread on phenotypes of w1118 mutants. Today being 11-18 (American way of writing date) is the day w1118 was isolated. Am excited to share some watercolour paintings I did this weekend to celebrate today as FlyDay. Wait for the cake that should happen this PM.
Here's the Fly Day cake using a drawing that I had made long time ago inspired by beautiful work by @joana_gcc
And this concludes our fly day celebration.
Cake made by @Swathi89332138 who is also my Yoga guru and a wonderful friend.

Celebrating #FlyDay to commemorate the isolation of w1118 mutant by Prof Robert Lewis while in Rubin lab. The 1st white (W) eyed mutant was isolated in Morgan lab (see inset for 1st sentence of his paper) which contributed significantly to the chromosomal theory of inheritance.
To know more in details about the first white mutants, here is a tweet by @sci_flies
W1118 mutant is a heavily used fly stock for transgenic generation as it makes it super easy to screen transgenics that have mini white as a marker. Our facility @BLiSc uses this strain extensively and has generated ~7000 transgenic flies in past 10 years.
