Repeated Gene Families in Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract
This paper is about repeated gene families in Drosophila melanogaster. A repeated gene family consists of many identical or nearly identical genes that cohabit a single haploid genome. In some cases the genes are contained within tandemly repeated DNA units. Indeed, the successive observations that the 18S and 28S rRNA genes in Xenopus laevis (Brown and Weber 1968; Birnstiel et al. 1968; Miller and Beatty 1969), the 5S RNA genes of this frog (Brown et al. 1971), and the histone genes of sea urchins (reviewed by Kedes 1976) are all tandemly repeated created an illusion that repeated gene families generally assume such tandem topographies. It is true that these three repeated genes have been found in tandem arrays in other eukaryotes - notably in D. melanogaster, which is the only species in which each has been isolated and studied in molecular detail. (rRNA genes: Glover and Hogness 1977; White and...

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
