Abstract excerpt
A genetic screen to identify mutations in genes in the 45A region on the right arm of chromosome 2 that are involved in oogenesis in Drosophila was undertaken. Several lethal but no female sterile mutations in the region had previously been identified in screens for P-element insertion or utilizing X rays or EMS as a mutagen. Here we report the identification of EMS-induced mutations in 21 essential loci in the...
