Abstract excerpt
A novel Drosophila mutant named Tripped-and-fell (Taf) was isolated in a F1 screen for dominant temperature sensitive paralytics. Recombination mapping using multiply marked chromosomes and P elements have pinpointed the locus of Taf to polytene band 93 on the right arm of the third chromosome (3R). When exposed to restrictive temperatures, both Taf heterozygotes and homozygotes paralyzed; however, homozygotes...
