Okay, at the top of this article, there's a box that says, "This article or section does not cite its references or sources. You can help Wikipedia by including appropriate citations." Why does it say this? I wrote the whole article, based on one single source, which is cited at the bottom of the article (and from my memory of the basics of every biology course I've taken).

Can I take the "you didn't cite your sources" box down?

It would seem to me to be a fundamental term (even if a noeologism) in the modern era of genetics. Trans- (transgenic) -heterozygote. A quick skim of EBSCOhost gave:

Ok, I agree that the term is known, so I don't have an issue with taking the {{unref}} tag off. Please add some references to the procedure to the page, though, since a single reference in a blog isn't a great source for any article, never mind a scientific one (that's why I put the unref template up). I'd also add a sentence or two for context, about, for example, the utility of transheterozygotes in genetics research. thanks. bikeable (talk) 22:08, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Two common uses of Transheterozygous[edit]

In your example * "Effect of E(sev) and Su(Raf) Hsp83 Mutants and Trans-heterozygotes on Bristle Trait Means and Variation in Drosophila melanogaster." The transheterozygote is E(sev)/+ ; Su(raf)/+ - it is heterozygous at two different loci/genes and they are looking at dominant genetic interations. This is the most common use of the term in modern papers. The definition here, orb[1]/orb[2], two different alleles of the same gene is often called a heteroallelic combination. I have re-written the article to explain both uses of the term. Dr d12 20:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
