Effects of Wolbachia infection and ovarian tumor mutations on Sex-lethal germline functioning in Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2009

Sun Sha, Cline Thomas W

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia is a ubiquitous intracellular endosymbiont of invertebrates. Surprisingly, infection of Drosophila melanogaster by this maternally inherited bacterium restores fertility to females carrying ovarian tumor (cystocyte overproliferation) mutant alleles of the Drosophila master sex-determination gene, Sex-lethal (Sxl). We scanned the Drosophila genome for effects of infection on transcript levels in...
