polyhomeotic regulatory sequences induce developmental regulator-dependent variegation and targeted P-element insertions in Drosophila.

Genes & development - 1 Aug 1993

Fauvarque M O, Dura J M

Abstract excerpt

Variegation of the miniwhite gene is observed in a euchromatic context in transformant lines that contain a P transposon including regulatory sequences of the polyhomeotic (ph) gene upstream of the resident miniwhite gene (P[ph]). This variegated phenotype is not affected by most of the genetic m...
