Abstract excerpt
In a previous report we described rearrangements occurring at a high rate (30% of the progeny of dysgenic flies) within a cluster of 5S genes internal to a P element. These events were characterized as precise amplifications and deletions of 5S units. Here we analyze recombination events within P elements containing two repeated arrays of 5S genes flanking a central white gene. Deletions (50%) and duplications...
