Abstract excerpt
Optic morphology (Om) mutations of Drosophila ananassae are semidominant, neomorphic and nonpleiotropic, map to at least 22 loci scattered throughout the genome, and are associated with the insertion of the tom retrotransposon. Molecular and genetic analyses have revealed that eye morphology defe...
