Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this paper is the genetic visualization by in situ hybridization of 130 sex-linked recessive lethals plus a non-lethal induced by I-R dysgenesis. This collection of lethals involves inducer strains which differ in the position of the I elements on the X chromosomes. The I-R interaction was strong. Our previous results have shown that about 30% of the induced recessive lethals are associated with...
