Abstract excerpt

A previously described system of a Drosophila melanogaster mutative strain (MS), which originates from a stable strain (SS), is characterized by genetic instability caused by transposition of the retrotransposon gypsy. New unstable strains were obtained by microinjections of the gypsy transposabl...
