A chimeric Xdh gene was constructed in vitro, by recombining DNA sequences from the Dipterans Drosophila melanogaster and Calliphora vicina. The ry506 strain, an eye-colour mutant of Drosophila that is deficient for Xdh, was genetically transformed with the recombinant gene. Transformed flies with ry+ eye phenotype and increased resistance to purine were obtained, showing that the chimeric XDH is physiologically...
