DESCRIPTION:Trudy F. C. Mackay is William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Prof
 essor of Genetics at North Carolina State University\, and is a Fellow of 
 the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Royal Society. Her wo
 rk focuses on the genetics of mutation and variation in Drosophila melanog
 aster and the analysis of complex morphological\, physiological and behavi
 oral traits. She has been particularly influential in advancing our unders
 tanding of the genetic causes of quantitative variation in populations\, a
 nd is in the process of sequencing nearly 200 Drosophila genomes. In this 
 talk she will discuss the first use of a systems genetics approach to unde
 rstand complex traits in Drosophila.
