Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide sequence analysis has demonstrated that interspecific size variation in the YP2 yolk protein among Hawaiian Drosophila is due to in-frame insertions and deletions in two repetitive segments of the coding region of the Yp2 gene. Sequence comparisons of the complex repetitive region clos...
