Localization of MINUTES to Specific Polytene Chromosome Bands by Means of Overlapping Duplications

David J Broderick 1, Paul A Roberts 1
PMCID: PMC1201925  PMID: 7129093

Abstract

Overlapping duplications recovered as suppressors of Minute loci have been used to localize M(2)z and M(3)w124 to specific polytene bands 25A1(2) and 95A1(2). The surprising efficiency of M localization by duplication may result from the tendency of M suppressors to be at least a visible fraction of a polytene band in length.
