Abstract excerpt
The injection of purified Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) (Prague strain) into Drosophila melanogaster (Oregon R line) eggs changes the fly phenotype in certain cases, and RSV-specific sequences can be identified in the Drosophila genome (ref. 1 and preceding paper). Here we have used Southern blotting to analyse in greater detail the proviral DNA present in several mutant lines of D. melanogaster produced by...
