Abstract
A 7‐kb genomic segment containing the coding sequence for the Drosophila melanogaster Formosa variant of salivary gland secretion protein 3 (sgs3) has been inserted into the snw y, bw, st strain of D. melanogaster using the P transformation vector p.6.1. The inserted sequence codes for a shorter RNA which can be distinguished from that of the host gene. The amount of RNA, and its stage‐ and tissue‐specific synthesis is identical to that of the host gene, which suggests that all the cis‐acting regulatory DNA sequences for this gene are contained within this 7‐kb segment.Keywords
