Flamenco, a gene controlling the gypsy retrovirus of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1995

Prud'homme N, Gans M, Masson M, Terzian C, Bucheton A

Abstract excerpt

Gypsy is an endogenous retrovirus of Drosophila melanogaster. It is stable and does not transpose with detectable frequencies in most Drosophila strains. However, we have characterized unstable strains, known as MG, in which it transposes at high frequency. These stocks contain more copies of gypsy than usual stocks. Transposition results in mutations in several genes such as ovo and cut. They are stable and are...
