Abstract excerpt
The Responder (Rsp) locus in Drosophila melanogaster is the target locus of segregation distortion and is known to be comprised of a tandem array of 120-bp repetitive sequences. In this study, we first determined the large scale molecular structure of the Rsp locus, which extends over a region of...
