Abstract excerpt
InDrosophila, homologous chromosome pairing leads to "transvection," in which the enhancer of a gene can regulate the allelic transcription intrans.Interallelic interactions were also observed in vegetative diploid budding yeast, but their functional significance is unknown. Here, we show that aGAL1reporter can interact with its homologous allele and affect its expression. By ectopically inserting two allelic...
