Abstract excerpt
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (cSOD) is an important enzymatic agent of physiological defense against active oxygen species. Previously, we defined the essential biological role of cSOD in Drosophila through analysis of a cSOD null mutant. In the process of isolating this mutant, we also identified several vital genes in the chromosomal region surrounding the cSOD gene (the cSOD microregion). To further our genetic...
