Abstract excerpt
The spread of a transposable element family through a wild population may be of astonishing rapidity. At least three families of transposable genetic elements have recently invaded Drosophila melanogaster worldwide, including the P element. The mechanism has been a process of effectively replicative transposition, and, for the P element, has occurred notwithstanding the sterility induced by unrestricted movement....
