Abstract excerpt
Sex-specific alternative RNA splicing of the doublesex (dsx) pre-mRNA results in sex-specific polypeptides that regulate both male and female somatic sexual differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster. We have molecularly characterized a class of dsx mutations that act in cis to disrupt the regulation of dsx RNA processing, causing the dsx pre-mRNA to be spliced in the male-specific pattern regardless of the...
