title: Comparison of the polytene chromosomes of the salivary gland, the fat body and the midgut nuclei of Drosophila auraria.
abstract: Photo-maps of the fat body and midgut polytene chromosomes of Drosophila auraria were constructed. These photo-maps are compared with a new, more detailed photo-map of the salivary gland chromosomes of the same species. Seven, not previously described inverted tandem-duplications were detected, raising the number of such structures found in this species to 31. The constancy of the banding pattern based on the analysis of the above chromosomes is discussed.
