Abstract excerpt
Optic morphology (Om) mutations in Drosophila ananassae map to at least 22 loci scattered throughout the genome. They are semidominant, neomorphic, nonpleiotropic, and are associated with the insertion of a retrotransposon, tom. The Om(1A) gene, which is cytogenetically linked to the cut locus, was cloned using a DNA fragment of the cut locus of Drosophila melanogaster as a probe. Three of the eight alleles of...
