Abstract
When the β1-, β2- and β3-tubulin-specific DNAs fromDrosophila melanogaster were used as probes to recognize tubulin-specific sequences in the chromosomes ofDrosophila auraria, they were found to hybridize to the same polytene band in region 32C of the 2L polytene chromosome. Three overlapping clones were isolated from a λEMBL 3 genomic library ofD. auraria, and they all contain β-tubulin-specific sequences based on hybridization and partial-sequencing experiments of subcloned fragments. These clones hybridize in situ to the same polytene chromosome band in region 32C and they represent an approximately 35-kb fragment of genomic DNA.
