Genetic and molecular characterization of two proximal heterochromatic genes in Drosophila melanogaster and their homologues in Drosophila virilis
Year: 2003
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Heterochromatin comprises a considerable portion of most eukaryotic genomes.It is gene poor, possesses transcriptional silencing properties, and consists primarily of repetitive sequences.It is therefore exceedingly difficult to characterize using standard molecular methods, and has remained largely uncharacterized in those genomes sequenced to date.
