title: Chromosomal locations of actin genes are conserved between the melanogaster and obscura groups of Drosophila.
abstract: 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.
