Abstract excerpt
During gametogenesis, chromosomes may become imprinted with information which facilitates proper expression of the DNA in offspring. We have used a position effect variegation mutant as a reporter system to investigate the possibility of imprinting in Drosophila melanogaster. Genetic crosses were performed in which the variegating gene and a strong modifier of variegation were present either within the same...
