A team of Japanese researchers just got something that seemed impossible: to transfer a pattern of behavior from one species to another. And to do so, in addition, altering a single gene. Specifically, scientists managed to pass on a unique courtship ritual from a kind of fruit fly to a different species. The milestone was achieved by activating a single gene in insulin-producing neurons, which caused a kind of fruit fly ( Drosophila melanogaste…

Single Gene Edit Transfers Behaviors Across Species
Scientists in Japan have used genetic engineering to make a species of fruit fly perform a courtship ritual it had never done before. By turning on the “fruitless” gene in insulin-producing neurons, they rewired the brains of Drosophila melanogaster to offer regurgitated food to potential mates—a behavior seen in a different species, D. subobscura.
