[Model genetic system for analysis of attachment of HeT-A elements to terminal deletions in Drosophila melanogaster].

Abstract excerpt

Telomeres of Drosophila consist of multiple copies of LINE-like transposable elements. These elements are assigned to two classes, HeT-A and TART. They are attached to terminal deletions at their 3' end, thus compensating for the absence of telomerase in Drosophila cells. The attachment of HeT-A elements to the X-chromosome terminal deletions of the regulatory region of the yellow gene was studied. It was shown...
