Molecular population genetics of sex determination genes: the transformer gene of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1994

Walthour C S, Schaeffer S W

Abstract excerpt

The transformer locus (tra) produces an RNA processing protein that alternatively splices the doublesex pre-mRNA in the sex determination hierarchy of Drosophila melanogaster. Comparisons of the tra coding region among Drosophila species have revealed an unusually high degree of divergence in synonymous and nonsynonymous sites. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the tra gene will be polymorphic in...
