[Variability of localization of retrotransposon copia ant its effect on adaptation in inbred strains of Drosophila melanogaster with the different rate of transposition].

Abstract excerpt

Three sublines of an inbred laboratory line of Drosophila melanogaster with the initial copia transposition rate 2 x 10(-2), 2 x 10(-3), and 5 x 10(-4) per copy per generation were reared for several dozen generations under conditions of low effective population size (by full-sib crosses or in a small mass culture of 10 females x 10 males). All six lines were tested for the transposition rate, location pattern,...
