Repair of P element ends following hybrid element excision leads to recombination in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

P elements are thought to replicate themselves starting with the association of the left and right ends, followed by a cut-copy-paste process. An abnormal form of this process has been shown to occur when the associated left and right ends come from sister elements rather than from the same element, leading to formation of a 'hybrid element.' These ends can insert nearby in the genome to produce recombination,...
