The hairy gene, specifically known as the "hairy" gene in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies), is a key regulatory gene involved in the development of the fly's sensory organs and hair-like structures. It plays a crucial role in the segmentation and patterning of the embryo during early development. Mutations in this gene can lead to abnormal hair development, highlighting its importance in the genetic control of morphological traits. The hairy gene is part of a larger family of genes that regulate developmental processes in various organisms.
