Na. Tchurikov et al., Localization of transcripts corresponding to different regions of the cut locus in Drosophila embryos, RUSS J GEN, 35(5), 1999, pp. 605-609
Transcripts of the cut locus were localized in Drosophila embryos with use
of nonradioactive in situ hybridization. DIG-labeled DNA fragments from two
locus regions located at the distance of 130 kb were used as probes. Dista
l and proximal regions were found to be transcribed in the same tissues thr
oughout embryogenesis, As only the transcript corresponding to the proximal
region was detected, the conclusion was made that two or more various tran
scripts derived from different regions of the locus and under common contro
l, are present simultaneously in the embryonic cells.
