Abstract excerpt
A mutator, mu2, in Drosophila melanogaster has been identified recently that potentiates the recovery of terminal deficiencies. The deleted chromosomes behave as if they had been capped; that is, they are protected from degradation and from fusion with other chromosome fragments. The mutator maps near the telomere on the left arm of chromosome 3. Using the selectable marker Aprt, 150 deficiencies for region 62 of...
