Chromatin insulators are thought to restrict the action of enhancers and silencers. The best‐known insulators in Drosophila require proteins such as Suppressor of Hairy wing (Su(Hw)) and Modifier of… Expand

ABSTRACT The Su(Hw) insulator found in the gypsy retrotransposon is the most potent enhancer blocker in Drosophila melanogaster. However, two such insulators in tandem do not prevent… Expand

Much of the research on insulators in Drosophila has been done with transgenic constructs using the white gene (mini-white) as reporter. Hereby we report that the sequence between the white and… Expand
