The nuclear distribution of Polycomb during Drosophila melanogaster development shown with a GFP fusion protein.

abstract：:The salivary chromosomes of the l(3)tl mutant of D. melanogaster are considerably thicker and shorter than those of normal larvae. In most nuclei, chromosome shortening is associated with morphological changes of two types. a) The bands lose their distinctive pattern and become loose. The chromosome appears as a granu...
