Genetic interactions and dosage effects of Polycomb group genes of Drosophila.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 6 Feb 1995

Abstract excerpt

The Polycomb (Pc) group of genes are required for maintenance of cell determination in Drosophila melanogaster. At least 11 Pc group genes have been described and there may be up to 40; all are required for normal regulation of homeotic genes, but as a group, their phenotypes are rather diverse. It has been suggested that the products of Pc group genes might be members of a heteromeric complex that acts to...
