Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila exuperantia gene (exu) functions in both oogenesis and spermatogenesis. Alternative RNA processing and promoter usage generates sex-specific transcripts which differ in their 5' and 3' untranslated regions, but encode the same predicted protein. We have sequenced the breakpoints of...
