Abstract excerpt
The Shaker complex (ShC) spans over 350 kb in the 16F region of the X chromosome. It can be dissected by means of aneuploids into three main sections: the maternal effect (ME), the viable (V) and the haplolethal (HL) regions. The mutational analysis of ShC shows a high density of antimorphic mutations among 12 lethal complementation groups in addition to 14 viable alleles. The complex is the structural locus of a...
