These images were taken while trying to locate the flight muscle gene in Drosophila. These were non-significant results that led us to look in a place beyond the predicted locations. Locating this gene is beneficial for studying human muscle development and disease. Lacking significant data can be discouraging, but it's important to remember that data tells a story too.
