Detection of heat stability variants in GPI isozymes of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata

Abstract

A combination of electrophoretic and heat denaturation techniques revealed hidden genetic variations of isozymes in Drosophila (Bernstein et al. 1973; Singh et al. 1974; Cochrane, 1976; Trippa et al. 1976; Milkman, 1976). Bernstein et al. (1973) discovered different heat stability alleles at xanthine dehydrogenase that revealed 1.74 times as many alleles as did electrophoresis alone in the same population of the virilis group of Drosophila.
