Conversion of one P-derived transposon into another has already been shown to occur with a measurable frequency. However, the mechanism responsible for such replacements has remained controversial. We previously proposed a mechanism involving three partners. We assumed that after excision of the P-element inserted at the target site, the double-strand break was repaired using, first, the homologous P sequences on...
