Abstract excerpt
Genomic sequence of the entire zipper gene, that encodes non-muscle myosin II heavy chain (MHC) in Drosophila melanogaster, reveals a new, differentially spliced exon in this essential locus and identifies a molecular lesion that is responsible for a severe embryonic lethal zipper allele. There a...
