Genetic and molecular analysis of a set of unstable white mutants in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetica - 1 Oct 1996

Rasmuson-Lestander A, Ekström K

Abstract excerpt

Two related unstable mutants at the white locus of Drosophila melanogaster show different interactions with the zeste1 mutant: one mutated white gene becomes repressed in males, whereas the other is unaffected by z1. By use of Southern blot techniques and by constructing genomic lambda-libraries,...
