Hiebert J C, Birchler J A
Abstract excerpt
Dosage compensation in Drosophila has been studied at the steady state RNA level for several single-copy genes; however, an important point is addressed by analyzing a repetitive, transposable element for dosage compensation. The two issues of gene-specific cis control and genomic position can be studied by determining the extent of dosage compensation of a transposable element at different chromosomal locations....
