Drosophila G9a is a nonessential gene.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2007

Seum Carole, Bontron Séverine, Reo Emanuela, Delattre Marion, Spierer Pierre

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian G9a is a euchromatic histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase essential for development. Here, we characterize the Drosophila homolog of G9a, dG9a. We generated a dG9a deletion allele by homologous recombination. Analysis of this allele revealed that, in contrast to recent findings, dG9a is not required for fly viability.
