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...
