Transposon-dependent mutant phenotypes at the Notch locus of Drosophila.

Nature - 1 Jan 2000

Kidd S, Young M W

Abstract excerpt

Many mutations at complex genetic loci in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster are associated with insertions of transposable elements. At the Notch locus, members of one class of insertion-associated mutations, termed glossy-like, produce a recessive viable, smooth-eye phenotype with mottled pig...
