Abstract excerpt
Aberrant repair products of mariner transposition occur at a frequency of approximately 1/500 per target element per generation. Among 100 such mutations in the nonautonomous element peach, most had aberrations in the 5' end of peach (40 alleles), in the 3' end of peach (11 alleles), or a deletion of peach with or without deletion of flanking genomic DNA (29 alleles). Most mariner mutations can be explained by...
