Abstract excerpt
The P element has been widely used as a mutagen because of its convenience in locating the site of mutagenesis. However, P element-induced mutations often result in varied mutant phenotypes, making it difficult to identify the null phenotype. Previously, three Rbp9 alleles were isolated using P element mutagenesis. Although the coding regions of Rbp9 were disrupted by P elements in all three cases, they showed...
