The Drosophila neurogenic locus mastermind encodes a nuclear protein unusually rich in amino acid homopolymers.

abstract：:Two retrovirus promoter trap vectors (U3His and U3Neo) have been used to disrupt genes expressed in totipotent murine embryonal stem (ES) cells. Selection in L-histidinol or G418 produced clones in which the coding sequences for histidinol-dehydrogenase or neomycin-phosphotransferase were fused to sequences in or near...
