Dp. Furman et Ta. Bukharina, MOBILE ELEMENTS OF THE DROSOPHILA GENOME AS MARKERS OF CROSSING-OVER IN ISOGENIC CROSSES WITH A BALANCER STRAIN, Genetika, 32(9), 1996, pp. 1291-1294
The ability of the Cy/Pm; D/Sb balancer strain to inhibit crossing ove
r in isogenic crosses was studied. Regions of interchromosomal exchang
e were detected within and outside the inverted regions with the help
of the MDG1, Dm412, copia, and B104 mobile elements. Certification of
mobile element distribution patterns in balancer strains was proposed.
Crossing over was suggested as a possible reason for the polymorphism
of daughter strains and as useful for estimating frequency of transpo
sition of mobile elements in similar interstrain crosses.
