Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the eye and testis enhancers located 1 kb upstream of the transcription start site of the white gene. Both enhancers confer the corresponding tissue-specific expression on a heterologous promoter as well as on the white promoter. The eye determinant consists of multiple elements,...
