Dreyfus. Chromosomes and sex determination in the parasitic hymenopteran Telenomus fariai Lima. Genetics 29:75-82, 1944 With C. Pavan proposed that puffs in the polytene chromosomes could be a cytologic manifestation of genes in activity and showed that the genes are the same in all tissues of a given individual however distinct genes are turned on in distinct tissues or even in the same tissue at different times during the development (1952) independently from German W. Beermann Polytene chromosomes in different tissues of Rhynchosciara. Journal Heredity 43:150-7, 1952 With C.
