Abstract excerpt
Based on deletion and complementation mapping and DNA sequencing, a new recessive fully penetrant mutation (DNApol-ϵpl10R), causing prolonged larval life and larval/early pupal lethality, is identified as the first mutant allele of the DNApol-ϵ (CG6768) gene of Drosophila melanogaster. A same-sense base pair substitution in exon 1 of the DNApol-ϵ gene is associated with retention of the first intron and...
