Abstract excerpt
The I factor (IF) is a functional non-viral retrotransposon, or LINE, from Drosophila melanogaster. It is mobilized in the germ-line of dysgenic SF females during I-R hybrid dysgenesis. In previous papers (Lachaume et al., Development 115: 729-735, 1992; Lachaume and Pinon, Mol. Gen. Gen. 240: 277-285, 1993) we used a transgenic fusion between the 5' part of the IF and the lacZ gene to characterize IF expression...
