The <i>tilt</i> ( <i>tt</i> ) mutation of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> maps to the cis-regulatory region of the Iroquois Complex (Iro-C) located in the <i>sosondowah</i> ( <i>sowah)</i> gene.
Journal Article microPublication biology · January 2025 The tilt ( tt ) mutation first described by Morgan and Bridges in 1915 has adult visible phenotypes in wing posture and vein formation. We have mapped tt to a genomic region within the sosondowah ( sowah ) gene that house ... Full text Open Access CiteCharacterization of the tilt (tt) phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster.
Journal Article microPublication biology · January 2023 In the early 20th century, Calvin Bridges and Thomas Morgan identified a number of spontaneous mutations that displayed visible phenotypes in adult flies and subsequent analysis of these mutations over the past century have provided fundamental insights in ...

Journal Article G3 (Bethesda) · September 2, 2020 The pigmentation mutation speck is a commonly used recombination marker characterized by a darkly pigmented region at the wing hinge. Identified in 1910 by Thomas Hunt Morgan, speck was characterized by Sturtevant as the most "workable" mutant in the right ... Full text Open Access Link to item CiteRecent Grants
