Locke J, Hanna S
Abstract excerpt
The cubitus interruptus (ci) locus of Drosophila melanogaster is needed for normal development. Some mutants of this gene result in embryonic lethality, while others just disrupt adult wing veins. While undertaking a genetic screen for additional ci mutations that affect the wing veins, we recovered a modifier mutation on chromosome two that produced a ci phenotype in recessive ci heterozygotes (ci(recessive)/+)....
