"Unraveling Fruit Fly Behaviors: A Breakthrough for Human Genetics Research"

Researchers at Tulane University have developed an AI tool called MAFDA that can track and identify complex behaviors of individual fruit flies within a group. This system allows for the comparison of behaviors among fruit flies with different genetic backgrounds, aiding in the study of inheritance and immunity in humans. The tool enhances reproducibility, speeds up research, and provides insights into behavior genetics. The researchers hope to expand the use of MAFDA to study other insects, mice, fish, and drug effects.
