Abstract excerpt
Male recombination, not normally present in Drosophila melanogaster, can be produced at high rates when target P elements at homologous sites are combined in the presence of transposase protein. We have produced a set of elements by in situ deletion of a particular insertion and have found elements that have deletions stretching into either end. Elements were tested in pairs to see whether they complement each...
