Christine Preston Christine R. Preston
Senior Researcher (1976)      email

Current projects include: The mechanisms of P element-induced male recombination; the use of this type of recombination to generate specific deletions of sequences near P elements.

Dena Johnson-Schlitz Dena M. Johnson-Schlitz
Associate Researcher (1986)      email

Current projects include: Repair of double-strand breaks induced by the yeast HO endonuclease; the effects on double-strand break repair of mus309 (Ku70) mutations.

Carlos Flores Carlos C. Flores
Research Associate (1992)      email

Current projects include: The spellchecker-1 gene, a homolog of MutS; the effects of mutant spel-1 genetic backgrounds on DNA repair and genomic stability; the Drosophila MRE11 homolog.

Kohji Kusano Kohji Kusano
Research Associate (1995)      email

Current projects include: The gesta-1 (genome stabilizer) gene, a homolog of RecQ and close relative of the human Bloom's Syndrome gene; the relationship between double-strand break repair and genetic recombination.

Mark Berres Mark E. Berres
Graduate Student (1996)      email

Current projects include: The loss of genetic varibility in small Drosophila populations; Genetic structure of bird populations in South America.
