Abstract excerpt
The E(var) 63AP mutation of Drosophila melanogaster was isolated in a genetic screen for P-element induced enhancers of wm4 variegation. Remobilization of the P-element in E(var)63AP resulted in a loss of its ability to enhance position-effect variegation (PEV) of wm4, indicating that the P-element in this mutant resulted in the E(var) phenotype. An allele of E(var)63AP, Su(var)63ALTR was isolated following...
