Relevance and mechanisms of transvection.

Abstract excerpt

Transvection, the functional interaction between homologous alleles, was first described in Drosophila in the 1950's. While transvection has been documented in a growing list of genes, using mutant alleles or synthetic constructs, in Drosophila and other organisms, the extent of its relevance to gene expression in physiological conditions has remained questionable. The molecular mechanisms underlying transvection...
