Abstract:
We are constructing a molecular physical map of the Drosophila melanogaster genome, using microdissection of polytene chromosomes as a source of region specific probes applied to direct mapping work. Chromosome microdissection has been used for a low resolution map of the Anopheles gambiae s.s. genome.
