Abstract excerpt
We report here the isolation of a tandem duplication of a small region of the third chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster containing the Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (cSOD) gene. This duplication is associated with a dosage-dependent increase in cSOD activity. The biological consequences of hypermorphic levels of cSOD in genotypes carrying this duplication have been investigated under diverse conditions of oxygen...
