Position effect influencing alcohol dehydrogenase activity inDrosophila melanogaster

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A small decrease in alcohol dehydrogenase activity was found in translocation stocks ofDrosophila melanogaster in which a section of the heterochromatic Y-chromosome is inserted proximal toAdh. This small position effect is consistent with our growing knowledge of the control and transcription of theAdh locus. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A2025089 00003
