The melanized ( mel ) locus of Drosophila melanogaster is a mutation in CG17065, an N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase
{{output}}
Mutations in the melanized (mel) gene of Drosophila melanogaster display darker body pigmentation and an enhanced trident pattern on the notum. By complementation, we localized the gene underlying mel to CG17065 , which encodes an N-acetylglucosamine-6-phospha... ...
