Abstract excerpt
Previously, we have shown that particles of Rous sarcoma virus or cloned fragments of RSV cDNA as well as DNA of oncogenic simian adenovirus Sa7, injected into the polar plasm of early Drosophila melanogaster embryos, were able to induce, with high frequency, unstable visible mutations in different groups of genetic loci. The genetic instability of the recovered mutations, i.e., their ability to revert to normal...
