Abstract excerpt
Regulatory DNA from a diverse group of Drosophila genes causes silencing of the linked reporter gene mini-white in the P-element vector CaSpeR. This silencing can occur in flies heterozygous for the P-element construct but is often enhanced in flies homozygous for the construct. In Drosophila, somatic chromosomes are paired and this pairing is important for the enhancement of silencing in most cases. Thus, this...
