Position-effect variegation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Position-effect variegation Position-effect variegation is a variegation caused by the inactivation of a gene in some cells through its abnormal juxtaposition with heterochromatin. The classical example is the ''Drosophila'' w()(speak white-mottled-4) translocation. In this mutation, an inversion on the X chromosome places the ''white'' gene next to pericentric heterochromatin. Normally, the ''white'' gene is expressed in every cell of the adult ''Drosophila'' eye resulting in a red eye phenotype. In the w() mutant the eye color is variegated (red-white mosaic colored) where the ''white'' gene is expressed in some cells in the eyes and not in others. The mutation was described first by Hermann Muller in 1930. ==See also==
