Using a local high-density SNP map, we also mapped a third mutation to a resolution of approximately 2 kb, sufficient to localize the mutation within a single gene. These methods should accelerate the rate of positional cloning in Drosophila.Berger...
The sex appeal of a Drosophila melanogaster female is defined here as the stimulus (or set of stimuli) which induces wing vibration in courting males. A quantitative measure of sex appeal is the cumulative duration of wing vibration induced by a given female averaged over several consecutive test...
The genetic properties of a recessive autosomal point mutant, "daughterless" (symbol: da), are described. They are: (1) da maps in the euchromatin of 2L at about position 39 on the genetic map and between 27D and 31E on the salivary map; (2) when homozygous in females, da causes th...

The nutrient-rich tubers of the greater yam, Dioscorea alata L., provide food and income security for millions of people around the world. Despite its global importance, however, greater yam remains an orphan crop. Here, we address this resource gap by p
Caspases are cysteine proteases with essential functions in the apoptotic pathway; their proteolytic activity toward various substrates is associated with the morphological changes of cells. Recent reports have described non-apoptotic functions of caspas
Correction: Accounting for Genetic Architecture Improves Sequence Based Genomic Prediction for a Drosophila Fitness Trait.

With the help of in situ hybridization respective location of 33 microclones from the genomic library of the Drosophila melanogaster large band 10A1-2, 4 clones obtained by chromosomal walking and 18 chromosomal rearrangements with breakpoints in the limits of this band was determined. A DNA fragme...
The distribution of SSRs in the lotus genome is different from those observed in humans and Drosophila, in which AC is the most frequent dinucleotide repeat motif, followed by AT and AG[18]. The GC repeat motif is extremely rare in eukaryotic genomes, except in rice[33, 34], and was ...
We have surveyed three natural populations of Drosophila ananassae for restriction map variation at the forked (f) and vermilion (v) loci, using 6-cutter restriction enzymes. Both loci are located in the centromeric region of the X chromosome. Two major conclusions can be drawn from the data....
