Submission + - A Genetically Engineered Fly That Can Smell Light (discovermagazine.com) 1

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: It sounds like a cool--if somewhat pointless--super powered insect. A fly that can smell light! Researchers added a light-sensitive protein to a fruit fly's olfactory neurons, which caused the neurons to fire when the fly was exposed to a certain wavelength of blue light. Adding the protein specifically to neurons that respond to good smells, like bananas, makes for a light-seeking fly.
