Abstract excerpt
The cubitus interruptus (ci) locus of Drosophila melanogaster is located proximally on chromosome 4. In ci mutants cubital wing veins are interrupted or absent. We have cloned this locus using a gypsy element associated with the ci1 mutation. Analysis of all extant ci mutations reveals that they contain conspicuous molecular alterations within a 13.7 kb region. Of the four homozygous viable mutations, three (ci1,...
