Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila melanogaster, some clusters of P transgenes ( P-lacZ-white) display a variegating phenotype for the white marker in the eye, a phenomenon termed "Repeat-Induced Gene Silencing" (RIGS). We have tested the influence of the P element repression state (P cytotype) on the eye phenotype of several P-lac-w clusters that differ in transgene copy number or genomic insertion site. P element-encoded regulatory...
