Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed a set of closely linked mutations on the X chromosome of Drosophila that lead to defects in gustatory behavior. The mutations map to a small region of the X chromosome between 10E1-4. Two distinct complementation groups, gustB and gustD, map to the ends of this region. These grou...
