Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the evolution of the bicoid (bcd) gene in fly species of the Muscoidea Superfamily. We obtained the complete bcd sequence from the housefly Musca domestica and found polymorphism in the coding region among Musca strains. In addition to Musca, we cloned most of the bcd coding sequences from two blowfly species Calliphora vicina and Lucilia sericata. The 5' and 3' regulatory regions flanking...
