Abstract excerpt
A considerable proportion of visible mutations is reported to be caused by the insertion of mobile genetic elements in Drosophila and other organisms. We estimated transposition rates of some Drosophila mobile elements by using the lines AW and JH in which spontaneous mutations have been accumulated independently for about 400 generations. Occupied sites of the mobile elements were detected by in situ...
