Article

The dominant Drop eye mutations of Drosophila melanogaster define two loci implicated in normal eye development.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 15 Aug 1994

Tearle R, Tomlinson A, Saint R

Abstract excerpt

The three existing dominant gain-of-function Drop alleles, Dr1, DrMio and DrWe, previously assumed to define a single locus, severely disrupt eye development. Genetic analysis of ethylmethanesulphonate (EMS) and irradiation-induced revertants revealed that the Drop mutations define two loci: the...
