Lyman R F, Mackay T F
Abstract excerpt
Delta (Dl) and Hairless (H) are two chromosome 3 candidate neurogenic loci that might contribute to naturally occurring quantitative variation for sensory bristle number. To evaluate this hypothesis, we assessed quantitative genetic variation in abdominal and sternopleural bristle numbers among h...
