Abstract excerpt
A mutation outburst of the yellow gene occurred in a Drosophila melanogaster population from the town of Uman' from 1982 to 1991 and was associated with the instability of several alleles. Molecular genetic analysis revealed a deletion variant of the hobo transposable element in the same site of the regulatory region of yellow in the mutant alleles and their derivatives. The outburst of the yellow-2 mutations was...
