Abstract excerpt
A previously described genetic system comprising a Mutator Strain (MS) and the Stable Strain (SS) from which it originated is characterized by genetic instability caused by transpositions of the retrotransposon gypsy. A series of genetic crosses was used to obtain three MS derivatives, each containing one MS chromosome (X, 2 or 3) in the environment of SS chromosomes. All derivatives are characterized by elevated...
