Comparison of targeted-gene replacement frequencies in Drosophila melanogaster at the forked and white loci.
P element-induced gene conversion has been previously used to modify the white gene of Drosophila melanogaster in a directed fashion. The applicability of this approach of gene targeting in Drosophila melanogaster, however, has not been analyzed quantitatively for other genes. We took advantage of the P element-induced forked allele, f(hd), which was used as a target, and we constructed a vecto...
متن کاملEstimating the contribution of mutation, recombination and gene conversion in the generation of haplotypic diversity.
Recombination occurs through both homologous crossing over and homologous gene conversion during meiosis. The contribution of recombination relative to mutation is expected to be dramatically reduced in inbreeding organisms. We report coalescent-based estimates of the recombination parameter (rho) relative to estimates of the mutation parameter (theta) for 18 genes from the highly self-fertiliz...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium patterns across a recombination gradient in African Drosophila melanogaster.
Previous multilocus surveys of nucleotide polymorphism have documented a genome-wide excess of intralocus linkage disequilibrium (LD) in Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans relative to expectations based on estimated mutation and recombination rates and observed levels of diversity. These studies examined patterns of variation from predominantly non-African populations that are thought to h...
متن کاملThe Pseudoallelism of White and Apricot in Drosophila Melanogaster.
In summary it can be stated that in Bx' the sy)+, Bx+, fu+ loci as well as x, a locus to the right of fu+, are duplicated'. The classical example of multiple allelism is the series of eye-color mutants at the white (w) locus in Drosophila melanogaster. The altemative interpretation of this series, namely, that it is made up of "pseudoalleles," or closely linked genes with similar effects, has u...
متن کاملSomatic Recombination within the White Locus of DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.
HE X-linked white locus of Drosophila melanogaster is a complex region of Tthe chromosome which has been subdivided into a number of sites (LEWIS 1952; MACKENDRICK and PONTECORVO 1952; GREEN 1959, 1964; JUDD 1959, 1964). Heterozygotes for two mutant alleles mapping at different sites in the white region (except for compounds with the right-most site, for white-spotted) do not show complementati...
