The transcriptomics of phenotypic nonspecificity in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Transcription factor (TF) function is redundant: TF phenotypes are frequently rescued by TFs not resident to the TF locus, a phenomenon termed phenotypic nonspecificity. Phenotypic nonspecificity in Drosophila melanogaster is not dependent on the DNA binding specificity of the TFs and generally due to genetic complementation. Two TF phenotypes (doublesex [dsx] and apterous [ap]) are rescued by multiple TFs. The...
