Genetic analysis of the additional sex combs locus of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1992

Sinclair D A, Campbell R B, Nicholls F, Slade E, Brock H W

Abstract excerpt

Additional sex combs (Asx) is a member of the Polycomb group of genes, which are thought to be required for maintenance of chromatin structure. To better understand the function of Asx, we have isolated nine new alleles, each of which acts like a gain of function mutation. Asx is required for normal determination of segment identity. AsxP1 shows an unusual phenotype in that anterior and posterior homeotic...
