Abstract
The Drosophila virilis Delta (Dl) gene was localized and cloned. Sequencing and sequence analysis of its 3' fragment revealed a 83% homology between i ts deduced produce and D. melanogaster Delta. Northern hybridization reveal ed four major transcripts of D. virilis Dl. In situ hybridization to whole embryos showed that the temporal and spatial Dl expression patterns are muc h the same in D. virilis and D. melanogaster.
