Abstract excerpt
The Triplo-lethal locus (Tpl) is unique in its dosage sensitivity; no other locus in Drosophila has been identified that is lethal when present in three doses. Tpl is also haplo-lethal, and its function is still a mystery. Previous workers have found it nearly impossible to mutationally inactive Tpl other than by completely deleting the chromosomal region in which Tpl resides (83DE). We have utilized P-M hybrid...
