DNA feeding and directed mutagenesis in Drosophila melanogaster
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 April 2009
Summary
The mutagenic effects of feeding calf-thymus DNA to larvae of Drosophila melanogaster have been studied on second chromosome recessive lethals, sex-linked dominant and recessive visibles and dominant autosomal visible mutations. While a positional specificity of DNA-induced lethals has been confirmed, no evidence has been obtained for a preponderance of visible mutations or for a specificity of phenotype among the visibles.
