Abstract excerpt
The transposable element TE35B carries two copies of the white (w) gene at 35B1.2 on the second chromosome. These w genes are suppressed in zeste-1 (z1) mutant background in a synapsis-dependent manner. Single-copy derivatives of the original TE35B stock give red eyes when heterozygous, but zeste eyes when homozygous. TE35B derivatives carrying single, double or triple copies of w were crossed to generate flies...
