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 transposable copy into SS embryos. In situ hybridization experiments revealed amplification and active transposition of gypsy in...
