Abstract excerpt
We analysed the structure of the white locus of Drosophila melanogaster in a family of related white mutants. The white-one mutant has bleach white eyes, and a Doc transposable element is inserted into the promotor region of the white locus. The DNA sequence of this Doc insertion was determined, and showed it to be closely related to other Drosophila melanogaster retroposons such as the I factor and the F, G and...
