Genetic evidence for repression of somatic P element movements in Drosophila melanogaster consistent with a role for the KP element.

Heredity - 1 Apr 1996

Brookfield J F

Abstract excerpt

The P family of transposable elements in Drosophila melanogaster has, since its introduction into D. melanogaster populations in this century, diversified into a number of internally deleted forms. One of these, the KP element, is abundant in the genomes of flies from populations from Asia, Europe and Africa. There is some evidence that this sequence can act as a repressor of transposition. We have studied a...
