Molecular cloning, germ-line transformation, and transcriptional analysis of the zeste locus of Drosophila melanogaster. 1986

Approximately 170 kilobase pairs (kb) of contiguous DNA sequences derived from bands 3A3,4 of the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome have been isolated by molecular cloning. Sequences required for the wild-type expression of the zeste locus are located within a 6-kb fragment of this chromosomal region, as shown by phenotypic rescue of zeste mutants in P element-mediated germ-line transformation. Expression of zeste is correlated with a 2.2-kb poly(A)+ RNA species transcribed at all postzygotic stages of Drosophila development. Many zeste alleles, including several producing neomorphic phenotypes, are not associated with detectable rearrangements of DNA.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
