Genetic deficiencies of the bithorax-complex (BX-C) in Drosophila, have been used to recover recessive lethal mutations in this chromosome region following mutagenesis. Complementation analysis separates these lethal mutations into five groups within a smaller deficiency, thought to remove the entir

We have studied the influence of some mutations in the bithorax complex on the observed synapsis dependent phenotype of the genotypes Cbx1Ubx1/+ and bx3 4e/Ubx1. The effect of these mutations is similar to that introduced by disruption of pairing or by the za mutation. Among the bx mutations, we fin
Heat shock of 37 degrees C applied to Drosophila embryos at blastoderm stage induces phenocopies of some dominant mutants of the bithorax complex. Heat shock might shut down functions of cis regulator genes involved in embryonic pattern formation.
