Drosophila melanogaster has been widely used in classical and modern genetics for more than 100 years. The history of the Drosophila model in the study of various aspects of life sciences will be summarized in this chapter. Furthermore, commonly used techniques and tools with Drosophila models will be briefly described, with a special emphasis on the advantages of Drosophila models in the study of various human diseases.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 June 2018.
All research outputs
#23,196,437
of 25,837,817 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#4,308
of 5,280 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#394,473
of 453,192 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#195
of 243 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,837,817 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,280 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 453,192 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 243 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
