Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila melanogaster P-transposable element is a powerful and widely used research tool. Sequences flanking the P-element can be recovered and the site of insertion can be mapped to the nucleotide, to connect the genetic and physical maps and facilitate molecular analysis of the gene of interest. The Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP) has assembled a well-characterized collection of lethal mutations...
