The genetic and molecular analysis of the mfs(2)31 locus in Drosophila melanogaster : a novel suppressor of position-effect variegation

Position-effect variegation (PEV) is the variable inactivation of a euchromatic gene which has been moved, by way of a chromosomal rearrangement, into a heterochromatic environment. The transcriptional repression at the variegating locus is thought to be a consequence of inappropriate packaging of t...
