The organization and expression of the light gene, a heterochromatic gene of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 May 1990

Devlin R H, Bingham B, Wakimoto B T

Abstract excerpt

The light (lt) gene is located in the centromeric heterochromatin of chromosome 2 of Drosophila melanogaster. This gene is necessary for normal levels of pigmentation in a number of adult and larval tissues and is required for viability. Hybrid dysgenic and X-ray induced mutations have been used to identify the gene and compare its organization to that of euchromatic genes. Molecular mapping of lt mutations and...
