Abstract excerpt
FB-NOF is a composite transposable element of Drosophila melanogaster. It is composed of foldback sequences, of variable length, which flank a 4-kb NOF sequence with 308-bp inverted repeat termini. The NOF sequence could potentially code for a 120-kD polypeptide. The FB-NOF element is responsible for unstable mutations of the white gene (wc and wDZL) and is associated with the large TEs of G. Ising. Although most...
