Abstract excerpt
In the medaka Oryzias latipes, several albino strains have mutations in the tyrosinase gene that have been fully characterized at the molecular level. A genomic clone from wild-type medaka containing the 5 kb tyrosinase gene with its five exons, 10 kb of upstream sequences and 2 kb downstream sequences was introduced into fertilized eggs from a tyrosinase-negative albino strain. We show that the injection of this...
