Abstract excerpt
The patterns of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeat units in seven Drosophila melanogaster inversional mutants have been studied. Among them, only the In(1)sc8 and its deletional derivative Df(1)mal12 female rDNAs exhibited significant reduction in the size of nearly all units, compared to the wild-type females (Canton S, Oregon R). Further investigation shows that each kind of repeat (insertion-free,...
