The attached paper describes somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) in Drosophila melanogaster
and the linked paper describes one of the recent applications of the subjected test and also comet assay.
Because adult flies rarely feeds on the medium, larval diet is more efficient for applying the extraction.
