Chromosomal locations of actin genes are conserved between the melanogaster and obscura groups of Drosophila.
The actin genes of D. subobscura and D. madeirensis were mapped by in situ hybridization, using a D. melanogaster probe. Six loci were detected, and they were strikingly similar in chromosomal location to the six actin loci previously characterized in D. melanogaster.
