Mapping of Drosophila mutations using site-specific male recombination.

Abstract excerpt

Although recombination does not usually occur in the male Drosophila germline, site-specific recombination can be induced at the ends of P elements. This finding suggested that male recombination could be used to map Drosophila mutations. In this article, we describe the general method and its application to the mapping of two EMS-induced female-sterile mutations, grauzone and cortex. Within two months, the...
