Since its introduction in 1993, the GAL4 system has become an essential part of the Drosophila geneticist's toolkit. Widely used to drive gene expression in a multitude of cell- and tissue-specific patterns, the system has been adapted and extended to form the basis of many modern tools for the manipulation of gene expression in Drosophila and other model organisms.
