To find out, developmental biologist Walter Gehring and two colleagues focused on a gene known as eyeless. Fruit flies that lacked this gene, they knew, failed to develop eyes. But the researchers wanted to know more about the powers of eyeless. So they inserted multiple copies of the gene into...
Yet when Gehring and his team replaced eyeless with a gene that controls eye development in mice, they found that the mouse gene also produced flies with multiple eyes. The implication was inescapable: the mammalian gene and the fly gene are so closely related that they are almost certainly derived...
The buzz Gehring created is unlikely to simmer down anytime soon. For master control genes like eyeless, which span the vertebrate and invertebrate worlds, are keys to millions of years of evolution, and scientists are already racing to find more of these revealing snippets of DNA.

After Treptow's body and journal were shipped back to Bloomer, the private's pledge received widespread publicity and was used by the Government in patriotic posters. Gehring remembers seeing the words framed at a Missouri training camp during his World War II service; another poster is part...
