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 test for complementation was to cross the selection lines to an inbred wild-type strain (the control cross) and to a...
