Molecular basis of transabdominal--a sexually dimorphic mutant of the bithorax complex of Drosophila.

abstract：:Recombination in some intervals of the map of phage lambda is associated with more DNA synthesis than in other intervals. Blockage of DNA synthesis by high temperature in a host temperature-sensitive for DNA synthesis results in the relative reduction of recombinant frequencies in those regions having the larger amoun...
