Abstract excerpt
Evolutionary changes during the process of sex chromosome differentiation in Drosophila miranda are associated with massive DNA rearrangements. Comparing the DNA structure of the larval cuticle protein (Lcp) region from the X2 and neo-Y chromosome pair, we observed insertions, deletions and a lar...
