Abstract excerpt
The Ubx gene of Drosophila normally produces several forms of Ubx proteins through alternative splicing of two microexons. We describe here two new viable Ubx mutations that show similar and almost wild-type adult phenotypes. Molecular characterization has shown that one of them, UbxMX17, is an i...
