Important information about disease-causing
human genes is derived from studying the
genomes of model organisms such as yeast, C.
elegans, Drosophila, and the mouse. The recently
published sequence of the Drosophila
genome (Adams et al., 2000) revealed that of a
set of 289 human genes involved in causing diseases,
177 (62%) appeared to have an orthologue
in Drosophila
