D. Fortunati et N. Junakovic, Evidence for genomic regulation of the telomeric activity in Drosophila melanogaster, GENETICA, 107(1-3), 1999, pp. 95-102
The structural integrity of TART elements has been used as reporter of inst
ability at chromosomal ends in numerous Drosophila stocks and over time in
an unstable stock. The results show that telomeric activity is a regulated
process that may differ between the stocks as well as over time within a st
ock.
