Polymorphism and divergence at a Drosophila pseudogene locus.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1997

Pritchard J K, Schaeffer S W

Abstract excerpt

The larval cuticle protein (Lcp) cluster in Drosophila melanogaster contains four functional genes and a closely related pseudogene. A 630-bp fragment including the larval cuticle pseudogene locus (Lcp psi) was nucleotide sequenced in 10 strains of D. melanogaster and a 458-bp Lcp psi fragment fr...
