'Should I stay or should I go?': myosin V function in organelle trafficking.

abstract：:Revision of the reference map of the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila subobscura was started by means of the electron microscope. We present a map of regions 70B to 72D of the E chromosome obtained from squashed and thin-sectioned salivary glands. It was observed that the total number of bands in divisions 70B to 72...
