Abstract excerpt
A large proportion of spontaneous mutations in Drosophila melanogaster strains of laboratory origin are associated with insertions of mobile DNA elements. As a first step toward determining whether spontaneous laboratory mutations are predictive for mutational events occurring in the wild, recessive brown (bw) eye color mutants were isolated. By inbreeding the progeny of wild-caught Drosophila melanogaster...
