Provided is a special Drosophila strain having a Bradeion gene
artificially incorporated therein to exclusively express the gene in the
compound eyes and thus to exhibit rough eye. The Drosophila strain has
the following properties: (a) a human-derived Bradeion gene has been
transferred in the strain to express the human-derived protein Bradeion
in the compound eyes from the developmental period; (b) the compound eyes
show morphological abnormality due to the expression of Bradeion; and (c)
the morphological abnormality occurring in the compound eyes is
multiplied according to the number of transferred Bradeion genes.
