The Tofu Mutation Restores Female Fertility to Drosophila with a Null BEAF Mutation.

Genes - 17 Mar 2026

McKowen J Keller, Dassanayake Maheshi, Hart Craig M

Abstract excerpt

Background: Compensatory mutations offer clues in deciphering the role of a particular protein in cellular processes. Here, we investigate an unknown compensatory mutation, present in the BEAFNP6377 fly line, that provides sufficient rescue of the defective ovary phenotype caused by null BEAF alleles to allow the maintenance of fly stocks lacking the chromatin domain insulator proteins Boundary Element-Associated...
