Abstract excerpt

Mutations induced by the gypsy retrotransposon in the forked (f) and cut (ct) loci render their expression under the control of the suppressor of Hairy-wing [su(Hw)] gene. This action is usually recessive, but su(Hw) acts as a dominant on the alleles fk, ctk and ctMRpN30. Molecular analysis of th...
