A novel transvection phenomenon affecting the white gene of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1990

Gubb D, Ashburner M, Roote J, Davis T

Abstract excerpt

The zeste mutation of Drosophila melanogaster suppresses the expression of white genes in the eye. This suppression is normally dependent on there being two copies of w+ located close to each other in the genome--they may either be in cis (as in a tandem duplication of w+) or in trans, i.e. on homologous chromosomes. Duplicated w+ genes carried by a giant transposing element, TE146(Z), are suppressed by z whether...
