abnormal abdomen
Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
The 'abnormal abdomen' syndrome of D.mercatorum depends on the presence of R1 inserts in more than a third of X-linked 28S rDNA genes and the absence of selective underreplication of inserted repeats in polytene tissues that is controlled by the Dmer\ur locus.
