Abstract excerpt
Su(var) genes regulate the formation and maintenance of heterochromatin in Drosophila melanogaster, yet how factors associated with active chromatin influence heterochromatin stability remains poorly understood. Through a new genetic Su(var) screen, we identified two strong suppressors of position effect variegation that remain epistatic to increased Su(var)3-9 dosage in the In(1)w m4h rearrangement. Both...
