Abstract excerpt
The larval cuticle proteins (LCPs) are encoded by a multigene family, Lcp1-4, located at the right arm of the metacentric autosome 2 (2R) in Drosophila melanogaster. Due to a chromosome fusion the Lcp locus of Drosophila miranda is situated on a pair of secondary sex chromosomes, the X2 and neo-Y...
