QTL for survival to UV-C radiation in Drosophila melanogaster
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate tolerance to UV-C (ultraviolet C, 280-100 nm) radiation in Drosophila melanogaster, implementing a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approach. This is of interest to test for genetic variation in survival to UV (ultraviolet) radiation. Materials...
