Evolution of the dec-1 eggshell locus in Drosophila. II. Intraspecific DNA sequence analysis reveals length mutations in a repetitive region in D. melanogaster.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jun 1993

Andersson S, Lambertsson A

Abstract excerpt

The dec-1 eggshell gene in Drosophila melanogaster encodes follicle cell proteins required for proper eggshell assembly. As shown by Southern and Northern analyses the dec-1 gene occurs in four alleles (Fc1-4) among wild-type strains. Its second exon has a distinct feature in the form of 12 repea...
