The transposon Galileo generates natural chromosomal inversions in Drosophila by ectopic recombination.

PloS one - 18 Nov 2009

Delprat Alejandra, Negre Bàrbara, Puig Marta, Ruiz Alfredo

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Transposable elements (TEs) are responsible for the generation of chromosomal inversions in several groups of organisms. However, in Drosophila and other Dipterans, where inversions are abundant both as intraspecific polymorphisms and interspecific fixed differences, the evidence for a role of TEs is scarce. Previous work revealed that the transposon Galileo was involved in the generation of two...
