Abstract excerpt
The white-spotted-1 (Wsp1) mutant of Drosophila melanogaster is characterized by the presence of an 8.7 kb retrotransposon (B104) inserted in the regulatory region of the white locus. The frequency of reversion in both somatic tissue and the germline after exposure to three different alkylating a...
