Transcription of the Drosophila white locus and some of its mutants.

摘要: The white locus produces one major, though rare, RNA of 2.6 kb, found throughout development. Minor species lower mol. wt. are also produced. One these is male specific. Transcription was analysed by Northern blot hybridisation in the wild-type and several mutants: wa, w67c23, we, wsp zeste. These results S1 mapping reveal presence at least four introns. these, a micro-intron 30-50 nucleotides contains site copia insertion wa mutant.
