Distance and pairing effects on the brownDominant heterochromatic element in Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1995

Henikoff S, Jackson J M, Talbert P B

Abstract excerpt

We examined the behavior of the brownDominant (bwD) heterochromatic insertion moved to different locations relative to centric heterochromatin. Effects were measured as the degree of silencing of a wild-type brown eye pigment gene by bwD across a tandem duplication. A series of X-ray-induced effects were recovered at high frequency. Cis-acting enhancers were obtained by relocation of the duplication closer to...
