Polygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: genetic interactions between selection lines and candidate quantitative trait loci.

Genetics - 1 Oct 1996

Mackay T F, Fry J D

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated genetic interactions between spontaneous mutations affecting abdominal and sternopleural bristle number that have accumulated in 12 long-term selection lines derived from an inbred strain, and mutations at 14 candidate bristle number quantitative trait loci. The quantitative...
