Abstract excerpt
A newly identified locus in Drosophila melanogaster, Mosaic suppressor (Msu), is described. This gene modifies the expression of white-apricot (wa), which is a copia retrotransposon-induced allele of the white gene. In addition to suppressing wa in a mosaic fashion, this mutation suppresses or en...
