Abstract excerpt
Previous reports have suggested that the Nucleoporin 160 (Nup160) gene of Drosophila simulans (Nup160(sim)) causes the hybrid inviability, female sterility, and morphological anomalies that are observed in crosses with D. melanogaster. Here we have confirmed this observation by transposon excision from the P{EP}Nup160(EP372) insertion mutation of D. melanogaster. Null mutations of the Nup160 gene resulted in the...
