Abstract:
The transcription patterns of three v-Ha-ras-related cellular oncogenes in Drosophila melanogaster were studied. Each gene coded for at least two distinct transcripts. The larger transcript of each gene was expressed at a similar abundance during the entire life cycle of fruit flies, whereas the shorter transcripts were much more abundant in embryonic stages than at later stages.
