Abstract
Transformation of mutant yeast cells by cloned genomic DNA from a higher eukaryote has made it possible to isolate a Drosophila DNA sequence that complements a yeast adenine-8 mutation. A 0.8-kilobase poly(A)-containing RNA is transcribed from the cloned Drosophila segment in transformed yeast cells and can account for functional expression of the gene.Keywords
