Electron Microscopic Mapping and Ultrastructure of Drosophila Polytene Chromosomes

  • Chapter

Abstract

The number of molecular studies involving cloned segments of DNA has been growing rapidly. This development holds a promise of rapid progress in the study of individual genes of Drosophila melanogaster. The exact sequences of DNA of several genes evidently will be available in the near future (cf. Spradling and Rubin, 1981). Consequently, the cytogenetic localization of cloned sequences on the chromosomes is also going to meet new challenges. More exact cytological methods have to be developed to demonstrate the normal banding pattern of polytene chromosomes and to recognize minute rearrangements in it. The quality and usability of all new methods should be tested against the revised light microscopic reference maps of Bridges (cf. Lindsley and Grell, 1968). An urgent task, however, is the reliable verification and possible revision of light microscopic maps by means of high-resolution electron microscopy. EM division maps for the salivary gland chromosome 2L of D. melanogaster are included in this review.
