Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the whitezeste mottled (wzm) mutant family suggests that the zeste gene product functions in establishing and stabilizing a transcriptionally active chromatin domain for white locus expression. The z1 mutation reduces expression of paired or proximate copies of white, while single or...
