Abstract excerpt

The P element is one of the best-studied DNA transposons as a model system to study evolution of mobile DNAs. The P element is a causative factor for P-M hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster and the P-M phenotype (P, Q, or M) has been thought to reflect genomic P elements content. Recent survey of natural populations showed that full-size P (FP) and KP elements are predominant in almost all current...
