The application of the maize-derived gene competition model to the problem of dosage compensation in Drosophila.
The gene competition model, originally formulated from studies on the regulation of alcohol dehydrogenase activity in maize, is also applicable to the phenomenon of dosage compensation in Drosophila. The model accounts for the absence of dosage compensation in sex determination.
