Potential variance affecting homeotic Ultrabithorax and Antennapedia phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster.
Genetics - 1 Mar 1999
Gibson G, Wemple M, van Helden S
Abstract excerpt
Introgression of homeotic mutations into wild-type genetic backgrounds results in a wide variety of phenotypes and implies that major effect modifiers of extreme phenotypes are not uncommon in natural populations of Drosophila. A composite interval mapping procedure was used to demonstrate that one major effect locus accounts for three-quarters of the variance for haltere to wing margin transformation in...
