Is the notch locus of Drosophila melanogaster a tandem repeat? Correlation of the genetic map and complementation pattern of selected mutations

G G Foster. Genetics. 1973 Mar.

Abstract

Correlation of the complementation relationships between the Notch locus alleles fa(g), fa(no), Ax(59d) and nd, with their genetic map order, suggests a tandem repetition within the locus of functionally related sites. This observation is discussed in relation to two hypotheses: (1) that the Notch locus contains a tandem repeat of genetic material; and (2) that the tertiary structure of the Notch locus product has a spiral configuration.
