Abstract excerpt
The structural organization of the retrotransposon gypsy (mdg4) is investigated in two Drosophila melanogaster strains. One of them, the stable w strain (SS), is characterized by a small copy number and stable localization of gypsy. In the other, unstable mutator strain (MS) which is derived from SS, the gypsy copy number and the frequency of its transposition are greatly increased. Genomic gypsy copies cloned...
