Abstract excerpt
This report describes the structure and expression of the outspread (osp) gene of Drosophila melanogaster. Previous work showed that chromosomal breakpoints associated with mutations of the osp locus map to both sides of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene (Adh), suggesting that Adh and the adjacent gene Adhr are nested in osp. We extended a chromosomal walk and mapped additional osp mutations to define the maximum...
