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
Simultaneous multiple transpositions and long-term genetic instability have been described in the ctMR2 strain of Drosophila melanogaster and its derivatives. This strain originated from a cross that was dysgenic in the P-M system. While spontaneous instability declined over 2 years, instability has
