Abstract
One lethal gene cluster was found by using an overlapping deficiency technique in Drosophila melanogaster, and the relationship among the lethal genes in this cluster was analyzed. Many spontaneous and induced lethal genes were clustered at the 55.1 region on the 2nd chromosome. Recombination analysis among these lethals was performed and maximum distance among these lethals was 0.00876 map unit. Distance between 2 recessive outside markers of this cluster was estimated to be 0.03 map unit based on cis- and trans-phase recombination tests.
