Degenerating Y chromosome of Drosophila miranda: a trap for retrotransposons.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Aug 1992

Steinemann M, Steinemann S

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila miranda, the larval cuticle protein (Lcp) genes are located on the X2 and Y chromosomes, while in other Drosophila species the Lcp genes are inherited on the autosomes. We chose the D. miranda species as a model system to analyze the molecular bases of Y chromosome degeneration, a phenomenon observed in many species. DNA sequence analysis of the Y chromosomal Lcp gene locus reveals dense clustering...
