Abstract excerpt
A series of yellow mutations associated with a great variety of tissue-specific phenotypes were obtained from several highly unstable Drosophila melanogaster strains carrying the gypsy-induced y2 allele. These mutations are caused by insertion of additional DNA sequences of variable size 69 bp upstream of the yellow transcription start site. These sequences are flanked by identical copies of a deleted 1.2-kb P...
