Gene and Genome Structure in Diptera: Comparative Molecular Analysis of an Eye Colour Gene in Three Species

Linkage data and revised genetic maps for 72 autosomal loci in Lucilia cuprina are presented. Comparison of the linkage relationships of biochemically and morphologically similar mutations in Ceratitis capitata, Drosophila melanogaster, and Musca domestica supports the hypothesis that the major linkage elements have survived relatively intact during evolution of the higher Diptera. The relationship of the linkage groups of the mosquito Aedes aegypti to these species is less clear.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
