Abstract excerpt
An unstable white locus in Drosophila melanogaster originally described by Rasmuson and Green (1974) and further by Rasmuson et al. (1978, 1980) contains an IS element. This constellation interacts with the zeste mutation and forms a mutationally unstable system that is sensitive to a variety of mutagens. Mutational shifts between zeste and wild-type eye color as well as deletions and transpositions of the white...
