Abstract excerpt
The X-linked gene Hmr in Drosophila melanogaster, when mutated, rescues otherwise inviable interspecific hybrids from crosses between D. melanogaster and any of its three most closely related species D. simulans, D. mauritiana and D. sechellia. DNA from the site of a breakpoint at the putative locus of the gene has been cloned, and results of transcription and sequence analyses are presented. Three distinct mRNAs...
