Transposon-induced rearrangements in the duplicated locus ph of Drosophila melanogaster can create new chimeric genes functionally identical to the wild type.

Gene - 18 Nov 1994

Saget O, Randsholt N B

Abstract excerpt

Variation in the number of gene copies can play a major role in changing the coding capacities of eukaryotic genomes. Different mechanisms, such as unequal recombination or transposon-induced chromosome rearrangements, are believed to be responsible for these events. We have used the direct tande...
