| Title | Natural variation of ebony gene controlling thoracic pigmentation in Drosophila melanogaster. |
| Journal | Genetics |
| Abstract |
We identified the causal genetic variation for the difference in the thoracic trident pigmentation intensity between two wild-derived strains of Drosophila melanogaster. It was found to be the difference in expression level of ebony, which codes for an enzyme in the melanin-synthesis pathway and has pleiotropic effects on vision and behavior. |
