Discovery of supernumerary B chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2014

Bauerly Elisabeth, Hughes Stacie E, Vietti Dana R, Miller Danny E, McDowell William, Hawley R Scott

Abstract excerpt

B chromosomes are small, heterochromatic chromosomes that are transmitted in a non-Mendelian manner. We have identified a stock of Drosophila melanogaster that recently (within the last decade) acquired an average of 10 B chromosomes per fly. These B chromosomes are transmitted by both males and females and can be maintained for multiple generations in a wild-type genetic background despite the fact that they...
