A genetic method for generating Drosophila eyes composed exclusively of mitotic clones of a single genotype.

Genetics - 1 Aug 1999

Stowers R S, Schwarz T L

Abstract excerpt

The genetic analysis of a gene at a late developmental stage can be impeded if the gene is required at an earlier developmental stage. The construction of mosaic animals, particularly in Drosophila, has been a means to overcome this obstacle. However, the phenotypic analysis of mitotic clones is often complicated because standard methods for generating mitotic clones render mosaic tissues that are a composite of...
