QTL mapping of natural variation reveals that the developmental regulator <i>bruno</i> reduces tolerance to <i>P-</i> element transposition in the <i>Drosophila</i> female germline

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Transposable elements (TEs) are obligate genetic parasites that propagate in host genomes by replicating in germline nuclei, thereby ensuring transmission to offspring. This selfish replication not only produces deleterious mutations---in extreme cases, TE mobilization induces genotoxic stress that prohibits the production of viable gametes. Host genomes could reduce these fitness effects in two...
