Screens for zygotic lethal mutations that are associated with specific maternal effect lethal phenotypes have only been conducted for the X chromosome. To identify loci on the autosomes, which represent four-fifths of the Drosophila genome, we have used the autosomal "FLP-DFS" technique to screen a collection of 496 P element-induced mutations established by the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project. We have identified 64 new loci whose gene products are required for proper egg formation or normal embryonic development.
仅针对X染色体开展了与特定母体效应致死表型相关的合子致死突变筛选。为了鉴定常染色体上的基因座(常染色体占果蝇基因组的五分之四),我们使用常染色体“FLP-DFS”技术,对由伯克利果蝇基因组计划建立的496个P元件诱导突变的集合进行了筛选。我们鉴定出了64个新的基因座,其基因产物对于正常卵子形成或正常胚胎发育是必需的。
