Abstract:A small decrease in alcohol dehydrogenase activity was found in translocation stocks of Drosophila melanogaster in which a section of the heterochromatic Y-chromosome is inserted proximal to Adh. This small position effect is consistent with our growing knowledge of the control and transcription of the Adh locus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
