Drosophila muscle myosin heavy chain encoded by a single gene in a cluster of muscle mutations

Nature. 1983;302(5907):393-7. doi: 10.1038/302393a0.

Abstract

Drosophila muscle myosin heavy chain is encoded by a single-copy gene which is transcribed during both larval and adult development. This myosin gene maps to a chromosomal locus distant from any of the actin genes, but is within a cluster of flight muscle mutations.
