Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the tumour-suppressor gene lethal(2)giant larvae (l(2)gl) of Drosophila cause malignant transformation of the optic centres of the larval brain and the imaginal discs. We report the cloning and sequencing of the l(2)gl gene from Drosophila pseudoobscura. Comparison of this sequence with D. melanogaster reveals a significant sequence conservation within the l(2)gl protein-coding domain and a strong...
