High impact information on ken

  • The P-element of the enhancer trap line l(2)02970 is inserted in the 5'-region of the transcript and causes a ken and barbie (ken) phenotype, associated with malformation of male genital structures [1].
  • Sexual activity of a total of 2970 individual couples of the same or of both species was observed at two ages: 10 days, ("young inexperienced") and 18-20 days ("old," either "inexperienced" or "experienced," if either the male or the female had copulated previously) [2].
