Targeted transposition at the vestigial locus of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Dec 1994

Heslip T R, Hodgetts R B

Abstract excerpt

Targeted transposition is the replacement of one P element with another. We are exploiting this unique property of P elements to study the complex regulatory domain of the Dopa decarboxylase (Ddc) gene in Drosophila melanogaster. P element constructs targeted to the same site in the genome will b...
