个人简介
Baker published over 150 papers over the course of his career, focusing mostly on the cellular and genetic mechanisms that determine sex in the fly species Drosophila melanogaster. He also explored how flies compensate for the chromosome imbalance between males and females (a process known as dosage compensation).
However, Baker is perhaps best known for his work, conducted in the late 1990s and 2000s while at Stanford, on a gene called fruitless (fru), which in fruit flies acts as a kind of master switch for male courtship behaviors. Baker, along with neurobiologist Barry Dickson, showed that the fru gene determined the degree to which male flies were attracted to females. Furthermore, triggering male-like expression of the gene in female flies led them to act like males – they wooed other females with an elaborate courtship dance that involves tender leg taps and serenades composed with vibrating wings.
