P element transposons in Drosophila melanogaster are capable of mobilizing incomplete P elements elsewhere in the genome, and of inducing recombination. This recombination is usually only of the order of 1% or less. We show that two P elements, located at exactly homologous sites, induce levels of r

The frequency of P element excision and the structure of the resulting excision products were determined in three drosophilid species. Drosophila melanogaster, D. virilis, and Chymomyza procnemis. A transient P element mobility assay was conducted in the cells of developing insect embryos, but unlik
Sterility and changes in testis structure are described in hybrid males produced by crossing male recombination (MR) lines to standard laboratory stocks. Although the sterility is directly correlated with chromosome breakage in crosses of certain MR lines, not all MR lines express sterility or testi
The P family of transposable genetic elements is thought to be a recent addition to the Drosophila melanogaster genome. New evidence suggests that the elements came from another Drosophila species, possibly carried by parasitic mites. The transposition mechanism of P elements involves DNA gap repair
