Abstract excerpt
In 1981, a recurrent local burst of high mutability and high allele frequency of the yellow gene was recorded in the natural population of Drosophila melanogaster from Uman', Ukraine. A detailed genetic analysis showed that hypomorphic alleles y2 prevailed during the mutation burst. Mutations were strictly allele-specific and occurred only in two directions: from y2 to y+ and from y+ to y2. Alleles y2 isolated...
