Innovations
Genesee Scientific is the world leader in innovation for and supply to the Drosophila (fruit fly) research community.[citation needed] Drosophila are widely used as a model organism in the field of genetics.
Genesee Scientific has been awarded three patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its revolutionary Drosophila vial racking system (patent numbers D673,296 S; 8,136,679 B2; and 8,430,251 B2). This Drosophila vial racking system significantly decreases time spent racking vials and is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional vial packaging configurations.
Genesee Scientific has also developed the first atlas of Drosophila phenotypic markers available on mobile devices.[citation needed].
