title: Resolution of an equivocal genetic element in Drosophila melanogaster: organization of the maroon-like locus.
abstract: Despite extensive prior study, an understanding of the genetic organization of the maroon-like locus (ma-l:1-64n has been elusive. A large-scale, three-point fine structure recombination experiment is described, wholse results provide documentation for an inexcapable argument that maroon-like is a single element rather than a polycistronic system.
