A new temperature-sensitive paralytic locus on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster called torpid is described. Mosaic analysis shows that the focus of defect in torp lies in the presumptive neural region of the blastoderm. Electrophysiological tests indicate that the excitability of the cerv
## Abstract In Drosophila, the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to sets of other chromosomes initiates a series of events which result in sexual differentiation. In addition, this ratio establishes dosage compensation, a mechanism which equalizes the products of Xβlinked genes in males and fema
The male-specific lethal genes (msl) of D. melanogaster represent a set of genes whose functions are required for the specific X chromosome hypertranscription in males (dosage compensation). We have carried out the clonal analysis of one of those msl mutations: msl-3 . Clones homozygous for msl-3 ar
