| PubMed Abstract |
The white locus of Drosophila melanogaster is a genetically well-characterized locus, mutations in which alter the degree
of pattern of pigmentation of the eyes. Using a previously cloned DNA segment containing a portion of the white locus of a
mutant allele, we have cloned and characterized the DNA of a 48-kilobase chromosomal region of the Canton S wild-type strain.
We have mapped the positions, relative to restriction endonuclease cleavage sites, of several previously characterized chromosomal
rearrangement breakpoints that bracket the while locus. These results define a segment of 14 kilobase that contains all of
the white locus sequences necessary for the production of a wild-type eye color phenotype. By conventional criteria, no repetitive
sequences are present within this 14-kilobase segment; however, we have identified an extremely weak DNA sequence homology
between a portion of this segment and a chromosomal region in the vicinity of the zeste locus.
